Description of the problem | On wednesday march 13, 2019, i was driving west at approximately 60 miles per hour, on interstate highway 10 in san antonio texas between fresno dr. And west ave. The hour was approximately 10:00 pm. The weather was clear, temperature was in the middle 60's. Traffic was light. Suddenly, i heard a very loud noise, the sunroof glass on my vehicle exploded. I did not see an objects or hear anything that may have caused the glass to break. I had not driven under an overpass or bridge. I exited the freeway at west ave. And entered a 7 eleven parking lot to inspect the damage. The front panel of the sunroof was broken. I inspected the sunroof for evidence of an object that may have hit the glass, but found none. Some of the glass did fall into the space between the roof and the interior panel, but the majority of the glass was still in its original place. It appeared bowed as if the break occurred from the inside out. |
