“I was driving down the road. There were no other vehicles around me. I then heard, what sounded like someone shooting a gun from the middle row up through the sunroof. It was the most insanely loud noise, i had ever heard coming from a vehicle. I pulled over and realized that the sunroof had exploded. The glass was shattered and was protruding up. The glass then shattered, sending shards of glass to the interior of the vehicle over my son, elderly mother and myself. We were all so frightened.”
