Chunks of ice sliding off the roof of a small truck smashed through the windscreen of an oncoming car on Tuesday afternoon. The driver suffered facial injuries of an unspecified degree.
A car driver drove on Tuesday afternoon at around 3:07 p.m. in Schwarzenberg on Egger Straße (L28) towards Egg. In a long left turn, a white small truck came towards him, which lost larger pieces of ice from its roof. These fell on the front of the car and hit a handball-sized hole in its windshield.
