Flying ice from the top of a tractor trailer on Interstate 80 crashed into a passing car’s windshield, injuring the passenger, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Troopers with the Stroudsburg barracks said Rose Kent, 62, was driving a Toyota Camry with Thomas Kent, 65, in the passenger seat at about 12:20 p.m. Tuesday, in the Smithfield Township section of I-80 East in Monroe County.

A tractor trailer traveling on I-80 West passed and ice from the trop of the trailer crashed through the Camry’s windshield, troopers said.

Rose Kent was uninjured and was able to drive to a near by gas station on Seven Bridge Road, troopers said. Thomas Kent was injured, and Bushkill EMS took him to Pocono Medical Center for evaluation, state police said.

Troopers have not been able to identify the tractor trailer.

Under current state law, drivers can only be cited if snow and ice dislodges from a moving vehicle and strikes a person or vehicle, causing death or injury.

State Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-Northampton/Lehigh, for years has been trying to get “Christine’s Law” passed, which would allow police to pull over trucks that are dangerously caked with snow and ice.

Last year, the measure passed the state Senate and was sent to the house transportation committee.
