I assume trajectory direction was the same direction I was facing, since apparent motion was straight down. Traversed apparent 15-20 degrees in about 4-6 seconds. 225 degree bearing estimated based on Google Earth bearings. Road bearing is 241 degrees and apparent bearing is 15-20 degrees to the left of that. Estimates probably plus or minus 5 degrees.

Remarks
Facing/driving WSW, the apparent trajectory was straight down. Based on car compass. Exploded half way through visible trajectory - bright flash (-15 to -20) and secondary pieces briefly visible.
