LONDONDERRY, N.H. (WHDH) - Drivers in New Hampshire are being reminded to clear the snow off of their cars before heading out on the roads after a man was seriously injured in Londonderry.
Police officials held a news conference in New Hampshire Friday to remind drivers about Jessica’s Law, which was put in place in 1999 after ice from a truck led to the death of Jessica Smith.
Peterborough Police Chief Scott Guinard said clearing snow and ice off your vehicle will save lives, prevent injuries, and prevent you from having to pay a hefty fine.
Londonderry Police Capt. Patrick Cheetham said the victim of the most recent incident has undergone several surgeries and still has a long road to recovery. A driver has been charged in that case.
“Take two minutes, brush off your car of snow and ice, it could literally save a life,” Cheetham said.
