City tractor mower shattered my windshield

Hi everyone,

My wife and I were driving home after an appointment for our newborn today around 5pm westbound 16th Ave just before the Sarcee exit. We passed a city mower that launched an object that shattered the rear passenger window, where our newborn was. Fortunately, we had a carseat cover, so most of the initial shards just bounced off. I'm not sure what the object was, we just heard a loud bang and noticed that our entire window was cracked and falling apart. I'm unable to find an object inside the vehicle either.

We immediately pulled over and called 311 to file a report.

I'm quite upset and angry, especially since our baby was involved. With how close they were to the road, I feel like this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed. I'm expecting the claim through the city to replace our window and potentially detail the car with the amount glass shards throughout vehicle.

As I am sleep deprived and emotional, I just wanted to ask the community for help if there is anything else that I need to do or report.

Thank you kindly in advance.

PS. I don't know how or when my dash cam's date got reset. But this did happen today and the cam has now been set to the correct date.

Edit: passenger window. Not windshield. Sorry sleep not here
