A number of smashed and damaged windshields were reported in the Greater Danbury area on Saturday.  Brookfield Police are reminding drivers that Connecticut state law requires motorists to remove accumulated ice or snow, including the hood, trunk, and roof before the vehicle is operated on any street or highway. 

In one incident, a driver was able to get safely off the road and into a parking lot on Federal Road by the exit 12 ramps off Super 7.

Brookfield Police say it might now look like much accumulation, but it’s all frozen and comes off in giant sheets, creating a dangerous situation.  The offender returned after noticing what happened. 

Newtown Police also reported several incidents of flying debris.  

Not clearing the commercial or non-commercial vehicle could result in a $75 fine. 

If the snow or ice is dislodged and causes personal injury or property damage, the fine is $200 to $1,000 for each offense.  Commercial fines range from $500 to $1250 dollars for each offense.
