Ottawa paramedics are reminding everyone to clear the snow and ice off of their vehicles before heading onto local roadways after a scary incident on Highway 417.
Around 1:40 p.m., Thursday, December 9, a chunk of ice flew off of a vehicle on the highway at Kent Street and smashed into another vehicle's windshield.
A woman in her 40s suffered serious head injuries in the incident.
Police had to close a couple lanes of the highway, but those have since reopened.
