| Description of the problem | I was traveling east at 65 miles per hour on interstate i64 in illinois when a very loud bomb, like a shot gun sound occurred in my car. We were then covered with the shattered glass from the sunroof shattering and glass was blown inside the vehicle and out. We were not hit with any object, it exploded from the inside out. The glass was actually pushed up to the sky. The explosion left a 14 inch hole in my sunroof. |
