Ice Slab Flies Off SEMI Truck and Shatters Entire Windshield

There are plenty of hazards on the roadways, from rocks to hubcaps to refrigerators (trust me, it happens!), there are all kinds of items that can become airborne without warning. Less common, but still very realistic threats come from objects flying off of other vehicles, such as failing tires and huge chunks of ice.

This dash cam footage perfectly captures just how quickly things can take a turn for the worse when object start flying unexpectedly.  The camera car is simply cruising along when a large sheet of ice dislodges from the top of an eighteen wheeler and smashes the windshield to smithereens.

The windshield held up and kept the hefty sheet of ice from coming into the car, likely saving the driver’s life, but the car can’t be driven with the windshield demolished.
