Got a call from my dad today that my cousin was in the hospital this afternoon. Apparently she was driving to school this morning to substitute, driving in the left lane with a semi-truck in the right lane a little bit ahead of her. A huge piece of ice flew off the roof of the truck and went right through her windshield. She swerved off the road but didn't hit anything. The truck kept right on going, but luckily the guy behind my cousin kept on driving to get the bastards license plate. He got it and came back to my cousin to call 911. She's fine, thank god. Makes me wonder, why don't they make it a god damn law to clean off the roof of your vehicle of ANY sort when you get snow on it. It's even worse the next day when the sun hits it, melts it, and turns to ice.. like in my cousins case. I see it everyday going down the NYS thruway, huge chunks of ice and snow and whatever else flying 50 feet into the air and plummeting to the ground. Just irritates me. Now even more since the incident today.
Cousin is thankfully fine. She just sent me pictures. I didn't even imagine it like this. So.. VirginiaDonkey, please shut the hell up. Thanks.

Driver's POV
Ice made it to the back of the car
The ice ripped the headrest right off the passenger seat
Holy sh|t! Your cousin is lucky to be alive! If that block of ice had gone through on the driver's side she would be dead!
