We were struck from the left front and the vehicle was knocked onto the right side. Minor injuries, treated and released at the emergency room. Vehicle was totaled.”

As the car was parked in our garage with our 1 year old daughter still in her car seat and my husband and I were at the front of the garage, the moonroof shattered and the glass got all over the interior of the car.
