Looks like you'll need a new mirror. Looks like a rock hit it when he was driving (or a bb gun bullet).

a shop in my area charges $25 to $35 to fix it. that's not that bad. they just put sealer on it and attach a suction cup to it for a few minutes until the silicone dries and POOF it's fixed. you usually cant tell it has been repaired unles you stare.

auto glass shop. the fix is easy. only takes a few minutes.
the sealer hardens clear and basically fills the hole. the suction cup holds the glass sandwich together while it dries. the same way it was originally made.
