That looks very nasty, you were very lucky it wasn't your side or as you say carrying a passenger.
The only experience I have had with similar results was driving a Polo on a family outing onto the Moors via Plymouth, just past the Sainsbury's roundabout there is a pedestrian bridge over the road and I noticed some teenagers seemingly walking. The next thing is a loud bang and the screen has impacted as one of the little bastards has dropped a heavy object from the bridge and it hit the passenger side where my Daughter was sitting.
Recovery truck home and screen repaired in the drive the next day.

Thank goodness for modern Laminated glass, remember the days of Toughened which disappeared into a thousand tiny cubes, and offered minimal protection

Very true fragments would turn up in heater demister vents months later it was a nightmare let alone the safety aspect.

 talk but I had some of the little ******!s shooting at me with an air rifle when taking the boat up the river avon. luckily they bounced off the windscreen. and whilst on the subject, the funniest expenses claim I ever had from one of my reps was for a broken windscreen. Just before Xmas, he had stopped at a crossing and a drunk was weaving his way across taking his time and singing. The rep blew his horn at which point the drunk turned round and hurled the frozen turkey he was carrying through the windscreen

I had an air rifle hit on my first BGT on the way home from work one night. It hit the rear wing just below the chrome strip and made a perfect indentation but didn't go through.
