This is regarding the recent news brief that I saw yesterday. The same thing happened to my car. I was driving and a deer jumped out in front of me on the highway, I swerved very slightly as it was not directly in front of me. The car all of a sudden did a sharp right and I went down into an embankment and hit a tree making my car a total loss. The next day I visited the car and noticed the my right rear wheel was turned inwards with no other damage around or on the wheel. I looked under the suspension and noticed the knuckle was snapped. I just wanted to share that it happened to me. I walked away with only a bruise on my knee but the car was totaled.....updated 06/15/16 updated 09/19/2017
