CONWAY — Police say a driver's windshield was smashed on Sunday by ice flying off the roof of a box truck, and the police chief is asking drivers to remember it is illegal not to clear snow and ice off their cars before getting behind the wheel.Â
The snow-clearing requirement is known as Jessica's Law, which is named after a 20-year-old woman killed in Peterborough in 1999 after ice flew off the top of a truck. The New Hampshire law was passed in 2002.
