- car was hit by flying debris on I-95, which carved a long deep gash in the roof above the passenger seat.
It happened when a pickup truck traveling in front of me kicked up an object
with its right rear tire, while we were moving at highway speeds.
I think it was a piece of ceramic tile, but I didn't get that good of a look
given its speed.
Here are some pictures:
