B

On a cold winter day, a group of strangers band together to save three children.

The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pine-covered mountains of Logan Canyon inn Utah are enough to make most drivers’ hands sweat.

But Roger Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn’t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year’s Eve, when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-year-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya Wildman. Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.

“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year,” says Andersen. “I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”

The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove, the slicker（滑溜溜的）the roads became. Rounding a sharp turn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes suddenly. In an instant, the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway, then slipping down a steep ten-foot embankment（路堤）toward the cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped toward the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.
