Nasty!!

I'm glad it hit the top of the car, although MB windshields are pretty tough. My sister caught a car part (whatever it was) on the windshield a couple years ago when she drove Mom's TE down to Tennessee to visit my brother -- someone rear-ended a pickup going the other way in the lane beside her. Scared the crap outa her, and busted the windshield. Looked from the scratches like a bumper or something -- whatever it was, it fell back into the mess of the accident and she didn't bother to get involved (out of state car, different out of state lisence, etc). I would have just to get the damned thing covered on someone else's insurance instead of out of my pocket, but nothing I could do after the fact.

Broke both panes (inner and outer), but didn't penetrate at all. Sis though she'd ben hit in the side -- I suspect she jerked the wheel! Could have been so much worse that a buste windshield!
