## Narrative
While turning into a parking lot the lower control arm snapped (broke in half, approximately).  The picture I sent is of a front lower control arm, however it is not a picture of the actual control arm that broke.  After it broke, the car was forced into a sharp left turn, resulting in the car crashing into a telephone pole.  The pole was not damaged but there was damage to the car.
