Matrix

  • 96,557 miles
I was driving on interstate 88 at about 70 mph and at mile marker 117 the hood of my car flew open and shattered my windshield. I was stuck in the fast lane of traffic because I was in a construction zone and the shoulders were blocked off. I had nowhere to go, and it was a very scary situation. The hood latch has never failed before, and the last time I had my hood open was when I had my oil changed about two months before. I had driven on the interstate many times since then, and the hood was securely latched. I reported my damages to my insurance company, and the hood, windshield, roof and grill of my car were replaced, totaling $4,800 in damages.
