Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70 MPH ON A CLEAR MILD DAY. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEAR ME. I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD *POP* *POP*. I LOOKED IN THE MIRRORS IN CONFUSION THINKING I HAD BEEN OR HIT OR SHOT AT. THEN GLASS STARTED FALLING ON ME AND INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR THROUGH THE SIDES OF THE SUNROOF CANVAS. I PULLED OVER TO FIND MY FRONT SUNROOF PANEL HAD SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES. THERE WAS NO WAY A PROJECTILE IT. NO VEHICLES CLOSE ENOUGH IN FRONT AND NO TREES OVER THAT LANE. NOTHING SEEN BY ME EITHER. JUST A RANDOM EXPLOSION OF GLASS. NO EXTREME TEMPS EITHER.
