For these motorists, what should have been an ordinary journey turned into a freezing nightmare, with exposed windshields and significant damage.

Windows cracked by the impact of pieces of ice

While carrying out its usual task of clearing the lanes, the snow plow did not anticipate the consequences of its passage on opposing traffic. The pieces of ice projected at high speed hit the windshields and windows of vehicles crossing its path. Images of the incident, widely relayed on social networks, show cracked windows, witnesses to the violence of the impacts.

A question of liability for insurance companies

Although, fortunately, no injuries were reported, the incident leaves a financial headache for the drivers affected. The question of compensation remains unanswered, how will insurance companies deal with this situation? Between the responsibility of the snow removal equipment and the specific circumstances of the accident, drivers are hoping for a quick outcome.

To summarize

Last Thursday, the ring near the Waterloo/Genappe exit was the scene of an unexpected incident. A snow plow, traveling in the opposite direction to clear the road, unintentionally transformed its passage into a rain of ice. Several motorists, forced to stop on the emergency lane, noticed windows broken by debris thrown at their vehicles.
