Consumer Description

ON 4/22/2018 AT 2:33 PM I WAS DRIVING ALONG I-80 SOUTH OF HAZELTON, PA (HTTPS://GOO.GL/MAPS/GJHN82KH8PC2). I WAS GOING 65. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 60. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF US OR BEHIND US AND THE NEAREST OVERPASS WAS SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET AHEAD OF US. WE WERE NOT IN A FALLING ROCK AREA. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD POPPING SOUND. IMMEDIATELY, THERE WAS A LOUD WOOSHING SOUND OF AIR AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE GRAVEL ON THE CAR'S ROOF. I DECELERATED AND MY TWO PASSENGERS LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OFF THE CAR AND WAS BEHIND US. WE SAW NOTHING IN THE ROADWAY BEHIND US. I SLOWLY SLID OPEN THE VISOR PANEL FOR THE SUNROOF AND SAW THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED. I PULLED OVER AND TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE. THE DAMAGE (A 6" X 16" HOLE) WAS ALMOST IN THE DIRECT CENTER OF THE SUNROOF. THERE WERE NO STONES OR FOREIGN OBJECTS INSIDE THE HOLE.
