MENOMONIE, Wis — The Menomonie Police Department responded to an accident on Tuesday caused by someone who drove into oncoming traffic because they failed to scrape their windshield before driving.

Authorities say nobody was injured in the crash, but warned drivers about the importance of scraping their windshield of any ice or frost before driving.

"With the snow and cold officially here, it’s time to scrape your window," the police department said in a Facebook post. "If you choose not to do so, in addition to being a huge safety hazard, you can also receive a citation and points on your drivers license."
