The two male occupants of an eastbound pickup truck were lucky to escape a serious rollover accident with relatively minor injuries on September 30. As with many stretches along Highway 24, the soft shoulder and deep banks are unforgiving if a vehicle strays from between the centre and curb marker lines. Lac des Roches residents have experienced several single vehicle accidents in the past year which serve as a sobering reminder to advise family and friends to be extra cautious on this scenic highway – full of curves and dips – which demand the full attention of every driver.
