Pulled into the parking lot this morning at work...saw the cones set up for the monthly defensive driving course.

I actually thought they would have hit the belgium block diamond pattern further back, but coming out of the move, the kid didn't recover.

the tire was in good shape, just grazed the curb.
...still managed to snap the suspension right off...

Nice! Any more pics of the car itself after the wheel/suspension jumped ship?

OUCH! I've never seen that happen before...

Wow. How fast was she going? Shouldn't the car be able to handle a bump like that? Can't really tell how high the curb is from your pictures, is it pretty high? Hope she had clean undewear to change into after it happened.

Looks like a Dodge Charger.
