“I was driving on the highway at around 65-70mph when all of a sudden my sunroof exploded into the vehicle all over me. I swerved as a result of the shock but thankfully was able to regain control of the vehicle before hitting anyone. I was thankfully in the vehicle alone and suffered cuts to my face and scalp. There was no evidence of any cracks on the sunroof and there was no foreign body impact noted. Glass flew into the vehicle as well as gouging the roof and and trunk of the vehicle with glass shards.”
