“On september 30, 2018, I was driving on the interstate coming back from austin and heard what sounded like an explosion. After a few moments I heard a sound of something rattling above my head. My passenger said it sounded like it was coming from the sunroof area. He cracked open the sunroof access door and he said he could see that the sunroof was shattered and he closed it immediately. We stopped as soon as we could and took pictures of the shattered sunroof. It was a sunny day and there were not any cars around us. And we did not go under any bridges or overpasses.”
