Narrative

At the low speed, the car suspension failed (most likely the control arm) and the vehicle swung to the right and crashed into the car bridge rails. As a result of this, the right front wheel dislodged completely, which would not be possible if there were no mechanical problems with the suspension. Tesla Dublin had worked on my suspension three weeks prior to the accident. The full video from the dash cam before and after the accident is available below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gbVniik6OTrQHAek_k1OfzSAld3btUcu https://share.icloud.com/photos/0019fXn5YAMpzr2s9Yq0oTnfA
