Driver Hit By Ice Issues Plea After I-695 Scare
This weekend, a woman was driving along I-695 from Harford County when ice from the SUV in front of her cracked her windshield.
BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Amanda Rispoli was driving to work Saturday on Interstate 695 near Timonium when a chunk of ice came off the roof of the SUV in front of her. There was no room for her to maneuver, she recalled.
“I just kind of held the steering wheel with my left hand and braced over my face with my right arm knowing that glass was probably going to break,” Rispoli said. The ice shattered her windshield, leading Rispoli to post a warning on Facebook for other drivers. She urged others to make sure they clear all ice and snow from their vehicles — not just the windows — before hitting the road.
