KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WPVI) — Several police departments across the region have put out a PSA for those who still have snow and ice on their cars.
It’s been four days since the storm – that’s plenty of time to get it cleared off. However, a lot of cars are still driving around with it.
“Super scary, you saw it fly up, come back, I’m like, ‘Oh my goodness.’ It’s scary, you don’t know how to react,” said Richard Couch, who has witnessed ice flying off cars in the past.
On Wednesday night, Action News spoke with a woman who was driving along Route 202 in King of Prussia, who luckily was able to avoid snow hitting her car just moments before speaking with us.
“I have seen thick ones come towards me, sometimes it’s snow, so it’s not that bad. But ice is bad,” explained Peyton Vance of Mount Airy.
Unfortunately, it’s far too common.
“I’ve had a vehicle in front of me once have ice fall off and damage my car, $1,500 worth of damage. They paid for it, but yeah,” said Ertell Whigham of King of Prussia.
The Action Cam captured a number of cars driving around with several inches of snow still on their vehicles.
A car in West Philadelphia also had snow on its windshield, with the exception of a small sliver on the driver’s side.
“Gotta have good visibility driving down the road, or ice might fly off and hit a person behind you,” noted Jim Riehman of West Norriton.
Following Sunday’s storm, Geoff Rosseland said he was driving along Route 313 to pick up his wife, Kate, in Doylestown when he watched a chunk of ice fly off a car driving in the opposite direction and strike his windshield and mirror.
The driver did not stop, but luckily he’s ok.
There are laws in Pennsylvania and New Jersey stating drivers must remove snow and ice from their vehicles following a storm.
