mancini tube upper control arm failure....

Did anyone wonder if maybe the wheel made contact with the curb then the whole front end corner with a tree before the tube broke.....not calling anyone a liar but damn, that front end took a vicious hit....look at how bad the wheel is bent and look at the damage to the corner of the radiator support and front frame member.

Could something else have happened before to cause the accident that may have caused the weld to break? Like a blowout?........just another way to look at it.

I mean I bet the whole accident took about 5 seconds so what happened first? Chicken or egg?
