“While driving on rt 24 north of nashville, the hood on our 2001 Toyota Tacoma flew completely open. The result was a smashed front windshield, a dented cab roof and a severely bent hood. The vehicle was able to be pulled over without anyone being hurt or killed. We replaced the windshield and tied down the hood.”
