Unhappy E300D control arm disaster

It started as a pull to the right this AM. Felt like the car was all over the road when I would brake. So I knew something wasn't right. I called my mechanic who said to have it towed in. Before I could get it in place for towing, the attached transpired. Fortunately it was just down the street from my house on a residential street, and NOT on the highway where I travel every day. Still makes me feel a little ill. Note the damage to the right fender. Boo.

It hurt to see that car pulled unto the flat bed, scraping tire and wheel well, but it somehow could have been worse, I think.
