A Chevrolet Suburban driven by Derek Linnes of Cape Girardeau ended up in a creek Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2010 across from 942 West Cape Rock Drive in Cape Girardeau. Linnes, who was alone in the car, said he was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured. With Linnes eastbound, he passed a westbound automobile that had just pulled onto the road. Linnes said that while moving closer to the edge of the road, which was near a curve, he had difficulty keeping the vehicle on the road. Ice covered the road but had cinders spread on it. (Fred Lynch)
