The rear glass shattered while sitting in the driveway. There was no evidence of something hitting the windshield. It appears to have spontaneously shattered. Glass was strewn toward the outside the vehicle to it's drivers side. This was probably due to the right rear hinge that was extended and protruding outside of the window area. This motion probably caused the glass to be hurled out and to the left of the vehicle.
