CHIPLEY - An early morning mother and daughter drive was interrupted Thursday after a log crashed through their windshield, according to Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reports.
Jennifer Weber, 39, and her 9-year-old daughter were driving south on State 77 near County 388 in a 2008 GMC Yukon at 6:15 a.m. behind an unidentified driver of a log truck. Weber told officers she was following close behind the truck but did not remember colliding with its rear before a log crashed through her windshield, according to the FHP report.
The driver of the log truck was unaware a collision occurred and continued traveling south on State 77. The driver is unknown, FHP reported. Weber veered to the right off of the roadway and came to final rest south of County 388.
No independent witnesses saw the collision, FHP said, but all available physical evidence supports that Weber collided into the log on the rear. No other portions of the car were damaged. Due to a lack of witnesses, no charges were made.
Weber was taken to Gulf Coast Medical Center with serious injuries.
