Passed out while driving. Struck the rear passenger side of another car with the front drivers side of santa fe. Airbags did not deploy. Santa fe was totaled.

I was driving to work in the morning and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. It took a second or two to get my bearings but what had happened was the forward pane of glass on my sunroof had exploded. There was a fair amount of glass all throughout the front and rear seats of the interior but most of it had blown out of the car. All but 2-3 inches of glass around the perimeter had blown out. The temperature was around 65 f.
