The article highlights a significant safety concern following snowstorms: drivers with snow and ice on the roofs of their vehicles.
According to Indiana State Police ISP, ice and snow can detach from vehicles a few days after a storm, becoming dangerous hazards for other drivers, especially on highways.
ISP Sgt. John Perrine emphasized that the snow can cause damage to other vehicles or lead to accidents if drivers swerve to avoid falling ice, which may lead to more serious consequences.
Semi-truck drivers also face challenges in clearing snow from their trailers, creating additional risks for other motorists.
Drivers are encouraged to clear their vehicles’ roofs to prevent accidents and avoid potential tickets or financial responsibility for any damages caused.
