A large sheet of ice from tractor-trailer hit another vehicle, causing “extensive damage” and injuring the driver on Monday, the Brookfield Police Department said.
The incident happened on Route 9 in Brookfield and involved an 18 wheeled tractor-trailer and a passing vehicle.
Police shared photos of the damaged vehicle, showing a broken windshield with glass on the steering wheel and damage to the front of the vehicle.
Police said that after the sheet of ice feel from the tractor-trailer, it appeared that the driver of the 18 wheeler was unaware of the incident and drove away without stopping or being identified.
A local business’ camera was able to capture the truck as it passed. The video footage showed the company the truck was with and the driver was identified, police said.
“We would like to thank the members of the public that have called in to assist,” the police department wrote on Facebook.
