4 passengers in our AWD rouge (2015), with a panoramic sunroof, were driving on 1-85 from las vegas, nv back to salt lake city, ut on 12/08/2019, in the county of beaver about 30 miles from fillmore, ut, at about 75 MPH (80 MPH interstate speed zone), when all of the sudden, we hear a loud crashing sound. There were no vehicles around us on the road, so we were all extremely terrified.
