| Description of the problem | On september 1, 2015 at approximately 3:45 pm, i was driving from sheboygan wi to kenosha wi with my adult daughter on i 94 south near the exit for highway 20. I heard what sounded like a gun shot, looked at my daughter and said are you okay and we were suddenly showered with the broken glass of my moon roof. As i was in the passing lane, i carefully made my way to the shoulder of the highway and stopped the vehicle. We closed the shade under the window and my daughter got out to see the damage. She took pictures of the damage and we then exited the highway. We found a truck stop right off the highway and two mechanics assisted in removing the rest of the glass and vacuuming the car. Neither of us was injured with the exception of having glass all over us and the car was not damaged in any other way. Neither us nor the mechanics found any evidence of an external projectile that would have caused the damage. The road was clean, there was no rain, and we were not going under an overpass. |
