Narrative

The sunroof on my car spontaneously exploded with no known cause. I was driving west on I-76 near Pittsburgh PA, going 70 mph. Suddenly a sound like a gunshot was heard and the sunroof had shattered leaving a big hole. The glass was contained above me and the passenger because the sun roof shade happened to be closed.
