MY AUTOMOBILE IS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. I WAS DRIVING ON AN ORDINARY ROAD AT PERHAPS 35 - 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD BANG AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES SCATTERING GLASS ONTO MY LAP AND INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DID NOT HIT A BUMP AND DID NOT SEE ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD HAVE THROWN A STONE AGAINST THE WINDOW. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE BACK TO MY HOME AND CALLED THE POLICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT BY A BULLET. THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER STATED THAT THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY AS A SPONTANEOUS EVENT. I AM NOT SURE THAT IS THE EXPLANATION AND WONDER IF YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS ANY SIMILAR CASES ON FILE ? THE WINDOW INVOLVED WAS MY LEFT SIDE - I COULDN'T SEEM TO CORRECT THE COMMENT THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT SIDE. *JB
