Personal Narrative: My Personal Unamaged Vehicle

On 1/22/16 came to work in my personal undamaged vehicle and at 7:00 am parked it the NCDOT Equipment shop parking designated for employee’s personal vehicle. With the in snow covered and icy conditions the NCDOT Buncombe Maintenance unit was busy scrapping the roads and spreading salt. When I when out to my car to go home. As expected my car was covered with new snow. I got inside my car to get my windshield scraper and noticed my windshield was cracked. It appeared that a piece of rock salt or rock from one of the trucks assigned to clearing the roads hit my windshield. I called Buncombe Maintenance to obtain the form to report this loss. I took pictures of the damage, and where I was parked and the road the trucks were on when
entering and leaving the equipment shop. I do not exactly which truck caused the damage. My car was fined when I parked it and in course of my day at NCDOT, it could have any of the many trucks scrapping or carrying salt that came in the shop. It my 10 years with the state and NCDOT I know accidents happen and we all do our best to prevent damage to private vehicles. I am thankful that it was only a windshield and in the 10 years parking in same lot this is the first and hopefully the last time it happens to my vehicle. I am a private citizen and employee coming work on mission of roads safer, I should not be burdened with the cost of undue damages.
