While accelerating from a stop sign and making a left turn, the right front suspension collapsed. The lower ball joint failed causing the entire right front suspension to collapse and fold into the wheel well and under the car. This also caused damage to the right front fender (pushed outward away from the vehicle). The momentum of the vehicle caused the right rear tire/rim to "slap" the curb causing damage to the rim and tire.
