DOT Employee Hit By Ice That Flew Off Truck On 101

RAYMOND, NH — Regardless of Jessica's Law, which requires New Hampshire drivers to clear snow off their car before hitting the road, a piece of ice flew off a box truck and injured a driver on Jan. 31. It was around 3:30 p.m. when a box truck was headed west on Route 101, state police say.

The victim, a New Hampshire Department of Transportation employee, was on the job, about five car lengths behind the truck when the ice sheet crashed through his windshield, police say.

The ice hit the driver's head "causing a significant laceration," police say, adding there may be other injuries. He was taken away in an ambulance.

Police say the suspect vehicle kept driving. They haven't found it yet.

Anyone who may have seen this is asked to contact State Police Troop A at 603-679-3333.
