A solo vehicle collision occurred today in Mad River, CA, when a driver lost control of their Nissan Maxima on black ice. The incident was reported around noon, although it took place the previous night. Fortunately, the driver exited the vehicle without any injuries.

The Maxima hit a patch of black ice, causing it to spin out and land in a ditch. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, ensuring that the area was cleared and confirming that no injuries were reported. Initially, the vehicle was left on the scene as the driver arranged for towing.
