LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Two Lexington residents are recovering from serious injuries after chunks of ice fell from a Meijer store roof and struck them during a routine grocery shopping trip on Wednesday.
Shannon Leva spent several hours in the emergency room getting staples in her head after a large piece of ice fell approximately 20 feet from the store's roof.
"I never seen that much blood in my whole life," Leva said.
In response to the incident, Meijer representatives said the store removed icicles from its roof.
The incident highlights how ice dangers extend beyond slippery roadways to include falling ice from buildings and vehicles.
