## Narrative
50 mph dry, clear and straight road, Right Rear control arm broke causing the rear wheel to become detached from the car and causing the car to careen into oncoming lane before correcting and landing in the right-hand ditch.  Could have been a disaster and only by grace was this not a disaster for me and an unknown oncoming car.  Event was witnessed by people in 2 other cars and they both stopped and gave their names.
