Rognac (C.P.)
A "windshield incident" occurred yesterday on National Road 113, in the Bellevue district near Rognac.
Mr. André Canaud, 65, a dental surgeon residing at 108 cours Lieutaud, Marseille, was driving with his wife when suddenly the car's windshield shattered.
Mr. and Mrs. Canaud stated that at that moment no vehicle had passed or overtaken them, and there were no loose gravel on the road.
Only a low-flying airplane was nearby, and the motorists reported feeling an air vibration at the exact moment the windshield broke.
