Wolcott police said they are trying to find a driver whose failure to clear snow from his truck Wednesday caused a chunk of ice to fly through a car windshield and hit a motorist in the face.

The driver of this Honda was injured Wednesday when an ice missile flew through the windshield and hit him in the face, police say.

The incident happened at 2 p.m., when the Honda was headed north on Wolcott Road, near Wolcott Lanes bowling alley, 955 Wolcott Road, police said. The box truck had been headed south.

Police acknowledge that the truck driver was “probably unaware of the damage he caused by not cleaning snow and ice from the top of his vehicle” when he continued driving.
