## Narrative
My Nissan altima dashboard is melting and the reflection is causing glare on windshield in the sun.  Salt buildup on the windshield in combination with a flash of bright sunlight suddenly caused visibility out of the windshield to be nonexistent. I caused an accident when this happen to me on the freeway, as I lost all visibility and started to swerve and slow down.  I had pull to the shoulder blindly and almost died.
