Sunday, January 25, 2015Berhane Gebretsadik, 33, ran over a patch of black ice as he was returning home from work at 2:29 a.m. Investigators state that the ice caused Gebretsadik’s car to slide off the right side of the road close to mile marker 25. Gebretsadik’s 2008 Lincoln then collided with a tree and subsequently caught fire. The Department of Transportation put out salt and sand on the spot after the accident. The black ice stretched approximately 200 yards. Gebretsadik was a hired driver and that alcohol was not a factor.
