Driver's Windshield Shattered By Ice That Flew Off Tractor-Trailer

AMESBURY (CBS) – An Amesbury woman escaped injury after a chunk of ice flew off a tractor-trailer and came crashing onto her windshield.

Kassandra Gove was driving on Interstate 495 in Acton on Saturday when she noticed a piece of ice go flying.

Gove began to pass the truck to avoid further danger. But as Gove switched lanes, another large chunk flew off the tractor-trailer's roof and slammed onto her car.

The Amesbury Chamber of Commerce executive director was able to escape injury. But her car had to be towed from the scene.
