Updated Feb. 10, 10:49 a.m. A very light dusting of snow and cold temperatures made for hazardous driving conditions on the road up to the Main Lodge at Mammoth Mountain on the morning of Feb. 8. These unfortunate motorists discovered the hard way that even the smallest amount of snow can make the roads slick. Driver David Salazar of Paramount (Southern California) was heading westbound at 25 mph when he lost control because of the ice, hit the snowbank and flipped the vehicle. Neither Salazar nor his two passengers were injured. The accident occurred between 8 and 9 a.m. The Mammoth Lakes Fire Department, Mono County Paramedics and the Mammoth Lakes Police Department were on scene.
