Many EO members remember Expediters Glen and Janice Rice who suffered a horrific accident that destroyed their beautiful truck and took them off the road for a while. They have been back on the road for a few years now, running with a power-only company. The following is from Jan's Facebook page today.
"It is confirmed... A bullet fragment was found after the windshield was removed. How sad is that? The shop notified the police of their findings; they came and took it into evidence. We also turned over the dash cam microchip to the authorities."
In a post earlier today she said,
"Just to clarify; Glen believes our windshield was shattered by gunshot. I'm thinking it was a brick, because saying it was a sniper when it wasn't is not right and even more frightening. That said, the dash cam showed a short, brief light that could have come from a gun. Two cars were parked on the overpass at the time. There was no damage to the hood or anywhere else on the body of the truck as would be expected by a flying object. I'm hoping for a definite, more conclusive answer when we replace the windshield. I don't want to believe a sniper is out there, but if there is, we need to be aware."
They are back on the road this evening, continuing their run. Trucking continues to be one of America's most dangerous professions. This incident took place in or near Rushton, LA.
