The car, travelling with a large trailer attached, rolled on black ice at Justices Corner, Little Hampton just before 8am this morning.
Nobody is believed to be injured.
Just last week a man in his 60s was travelling on the same stretch of road, between Lockheeds and Justices' roads on the Daylesford - Trentham Road when he hit black ice and lost control of the truck he was driving, causing it to roll.
It is believed the black ice lights were on at Eganstown this morning, warning road users of black ice, but despite residents consistently requesting for black ice lights to be installed at the troublesome spot in Little Hampton, none have yet been placed there.
It was -2 degrees overnight in Trentham.
Black ice is a danger on roads, particularly in low lying areas, bridges and freeway overpasses and is usually formed after rainfall or fog, when the air temperature is around 0 degrees.
The Courier has put together a map of black ice in places where drivers have encountered it across the region here.
More to come.
