Description of the problem	Driving on route 55 s in new jersey around 3:00 pm , sunny day between exit 53 a and 53 b windows up sun roof closed and air conditioning on when all of a sudden our sun roof imploded onto my wife and i. We were in the passing lane at that time and had to think quick as to what just happened and proceeded to remove ourselves from the highway and off to the side . We called our insurance company looking for advice on what to do, but they were not able to recommend any so we then called 911 and the operator there contacted someone form njdot who responded to our needs . My wife and i were covered in glass with a few cuts and bruises but nothing to serious compared to losing control of your vehicle and creating a nightmare for potentially many others and ourselves . We started to remove the glass and when help arrived he had some duct tape so we could tape the sun visor which is only cloth closed . We just started our vacation and what a ride so far ! After the njdot man helped to get us secured as good as he could we traveled to our destination and stopped by a home depot to purchase a movers cardboard box , heavy contractor debris bags and more duct tape to button everything up . We then contacted kia customer service to advise of the occurrence. Updated 09/17/15lj... Updated 10/27/15 bf *cn
