Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN THE COUNTRY, GO ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD SOUND LIKE AN EXPLOSION OR GUNSHOT. I HAD THE COVER TO THE SUNROOF OPEN AND WHEN I LOOKED UP I COULD SEE THAT THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED, CRACKLED EVERYWHERE, BUT INTACT. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE, I COULD NOT SEE ANY DEBRIS FROM ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE HIT IT.. INSTEAD IT APPEARS TO BOW FROM UNDERNEATH AND THE SIDES HAVE LINEAR CRACKS ALL AROUND. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED EITHER, SO I DO NOT SEE THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED FROM ANYTHING EXTERNALLY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO BE DISTRACTED TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY IF THE GLASS HAD ENTIRELY FALLEN THROUGH TO THE INSIDE.
