Car in Ditch on Icy Road (France)

The road in this area was covered with black ice due to freezing rain a few hours before. Over less than a kilometer I saw several cars in the ditch, like this one (only minor accidents, no injuries). I was lucky that most of the black ice had melted when I passed there, or else I would have ended up in the ditch, like this guy, stuck between the guard rail and the talus.
