FIREFIGHTERS who got a call to a serious road accident in the Audley area of Blackburn said they were almost driven off the road when they were pelted with snowballs and ice.
Around 30 to 40 youths ambushed the crews and one of the snowballs cracked one of the fire engines wing mirror as they travelled to answer the hoax call.
