“Was driving approx 65 MPH, with no cars/trucks close to me, and as was looking to the left of car, heard a loud bang/pop, which startled me. Sounded like something landed on the forward roof, which nothing had. Car was running smooth, so knew I was not hit or ran over any road debris. I knew the noise came from the forward of the SUV, solooked around front of interior while trying to figure out what happened. Then I saw the windshield cracks sparkling in the sunlight.”
