2 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2020

I was driving my BMW X5 at approximately 9:30pm on interstate 93 going north in massachusetts, when I heard a explosion above my head. I immediately exited the highway to examine what had cause the explosion. When I examined the roof of the vehicle, I noticed a huge crater in the center of the sunroof with shards of glass covering most of the crater where the intact sunroof was located. I did not notice and object that might have cause the explosion, no ice- it is winter in massachusetts, no rocks that might have impacted the sunroof to cause the explosion, the only thing that was visible to me were broken glass. Prior to this event, I had no reason to be concerned that there was something wrong with the sunroof, I had never heard any sounds coming from the sunroof and I never heard or saw a rock, piece if metal or any other object impacting the roof or sunroof.
