'Almost fell off a cliff': Kelis reveals she and her children had near-death experience while driving in California snowstorm
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA: Kelis had an unpleasant experience with her children during a snowstorm in California over the weekend. On her Instagram, the singer shared that she and her children were going to Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County in California to enjoy the snow before her car “almost fell off a cliff”.
The 43-year-old also described in the social media video that a tow truck was trying to get the vehicle back while she and her family had been "outside for a while". “We've been outside for a while, but we had all this snowboarding gear. So God is good. And I figured if you're going to be in the situation, you should at least look your best. So I'm wearing layers to keep warm,” the ‘Trick Me’ singer said while wearing a huge navy green jacket and bright pink coat.

‘We will continue to monitor road and infrastructure conditions’
This comes as a February 27 weather warning by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said, “The San Bernardino Mountains received several feet of snow over the last few days, impacting the day-to-day operations throughout the mountain communities. At this time, we are asking non-residents and residents not currently on the mountain to avoid the area and allow road crews, first responders, and resupply efforts priority access to the limited number of roads that have been cleared.”
It added, “Gas stations and grocery stores have reached critically low levels and cannot support any additional consumers at this time. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is working with local agencies to create a warming center for those on the mountain in need of additional resources. We will continue to monitor road and infrastructure conditions in conjunction with Cal-Trans, County Roads, and California Highway Patrol.”
