While the contact's daughter was driving 30 mph, the lower passenger side control arm failed, which caused the entire wheel assembly to separate from the vehicle. The vehicle landed onto the frame. The contact struck two parked vehicles and then slid into the third vehicle, which stopped the contact's vehicle because there was no braking ability after the assembly fell off.
