A chunk of the snow/ice flew into another vehicle.
It s that time of year where fitting winter tires is necessary and many journeys begin by brushing snow and/or ice off your vehicle. If you ve ever been in a hurry and neglected to do this, an unfortunate story from Londonderry in New Hampshire should be enough to make you think twice.
Last week, Londonderry Police Department reported that snow and ice that dislodged from the box truck that Richard Leiter, 60, was driving struck a Honda Accord close by, seriously injuring the driver after the Accord s windshield was shattered. While there are some strange state-specific driving laws out there, it s clear why Jessica s Law - requiring New Hampshire drivers to remove snow/ice from their cars - remains in place.
