yeah...that shit happens all the time...once I was behind one and metal clips started falling off of the truck. Luckily, I got closer to the rear of the truck so when the metal pieces bounced off, it was flying over-head...that was pretty scary.

If you wrote his license plate info down and/or company info, some insurance companies will cover it without a claim/deductible.

Sucks.

Also, I know that even if you didn't get the license plate info, some insurance companies will charge no deductible if you just fill up the crack as opposed to replace the whole windshield. It's just a lot cheaper for them to do that than to replace the whole thing, even with the deductible. You should look into that...
