MODESTO, Calif. (KXTV/AP) -- A 10-year-old boy in Modesto was injured Monday morning when a chunk of ice the size of a bowling ball fell from the sky, crashed through the family's roof and struck him on the head as he sat on a couch.
Carlos Mendez, who lives in the 1000 block of Tioga Drive across the street from the Modesto airport, has a bump on his head, but appears otherwise to be OK.
"A little block of ice hit him in the back of the head," his mother said. "I think he was more scared."
Authorities are working with the Federal Aviation Administration to find out where the chunk of ice came from.
