(New Sewickley Twp., Beaver County, Pa.) Pa State Police in Gibsonia are reporting that they were called to the scene of an incident that occurred on the Pa. Turnpike in New Sewickley Township on Monday, February 7, 2022 at 4:03 PM.
Upon arriving and investigating it was learned that 29-year-old Stephanie Gibbs of New Castle was operating a 2021 Mercedes-Benz 250 Series west bound in the left lane when another unknown vehicle traveling east bound in the left lane had a decent size piece of ice come off of it and strike Gibbs’ vehicle in the windshield causing it to crack. Her vehicle became disabled due to the crack in the windshield and had to be towed from the scene.
Gibbs was not injured in the incident.
This is a good time to remind motorists that it is the law in Pennsylvania to remove snow and ice from your vehicle. If snow or ice from your vehicle causes an accident you could face charges and fines.
