Woah, scary! I've had that happen once in a van (I wasn't driving) and in the Subaru I am currently driving (happened while I wasn't driving also). It is a frightening situation. Glad to hear you made it out fine. That is odd that the hood broke loose from the bolts. Is there currently holes where the clamp used to be attatched to the hood (that bad)?
