DIXFIELD — Slick roads at the end of last week resulted in a series of vehicle accidents but no personal injuries.

Dixfield police Sgt. Jeff Howe said the accident causing the most damage happened at about 12:30 a.m. on March 11 on Route 17 in East Dixfield when a 2001 Toyota pickup truck driven by Alice Wilbur, 63, of Main Street, Jay, was traveling toward the village.

When she hit a patch of black ice and the vehicle began to fishtail she overcorrected and hit a parked 2004 Hyundai sedan driven by Joanne Robichaud-Sauer, 38, of Fitchburg, Mass.

The Hyundai sustained $3,000 damage. Wilbur’s pickup sustained $1,000 damage.

Also on March 11, Geraldine A. Harvell, 59, of East Dixfield, lost control of her 2003 Chevrolet sedan as she was driving east on the Severy Hill Road. The loss of traction due to black ice caused her vehicle to slide into a snowbank and cause $1,300 damage.

At 7:20 a.m. March 10, Alexander Parent, 17, of Richards Avenue, Mexico, was traveling easterly on Route 2. Parent lost control of the 2002 Ford two-door sedan in the snowy and slippery road conditions. The vehicle left the road and slid into a snowbank, causing about $500 damage.
