Ice Crashes Through Windshield, Injures Driver

The Minnesota State Patrol is reminding you to clean off your car before hitting the road after ice went through a driver’s windshield.

The driver was lucky to walk away with only minor injuries after the sheet of ice flew off a semi and crashed through his windshield on Highway 36 and Snelling Avenue Tuesday.

Authorities were not able to find the semi-truck that lost the ice.

It is illegal to drive any vehicle with material that could potentially break loose and create hazardous conditions.

The state patrol is also reminding you to stay back from large vehicles and remain alert, especially in winter and spring where we see freezing and melting temperatures.
