LONDONDERRY, N.H. (AP) — A box truck driver has been accused of not clearing snow and ice from his roof that dislodged and struck a car driver on Route 102, police in Londonderry said.
Richard Leiter, 60, of Derry, faces charges of vehicular assault and reckless conduct, both misdemeanors, and a negligent driving violation in the Dec. 9 crash. He was arrested Wednesday.
The ice and snow went through a car windshield. The driver, Michael Conry, 22, of Londonderry, suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries to his face and eyes, police said. He underwent surgery to remove pieces of glass from his eyes.
