(Firefighter Mark Tomkins surveys accident scene after driver has been attended to)

What could have ended as a major accident was averted when a young woman was able to keep her car from flipping over after she lost control while traveling on Westside Road on San Juan Island.

The car left the roadway, entered the roadside ditch, roared up an embankment, took out a section of fence, and finally came to a halt at the top of the bank.
