2014: “This happened on 2/26/2014: I was driving my hybrid crosstrek this morning on the interstate. I had been on the road about 20-25 minutes. I heard a loud bang and had glass all over me. I pulled over to the side of the road quickly. Thankfully my grandson or another passenger were not with me as they would have had glass all over them too.”
