That is exactly what happened. I had it towed into the MB body shop and they put it up on the lift. I wish I had remembered that my phone had a camera in it so I could have snapped a shot of it, but it was pretty nasty looking. The good news is that they will fix it by tomorrow afternoon and it will only cost about $300. I will also get the other side done. It is intact, but showing rust. That's another $300. The bad news is that MB says they will not pay anything given the age of the car. But at that price it is not too big a deal.
