Default analysis of an accident scene

I couldn't find the piece of the wheel anywhere. It probably made it into a shopping cart by now and is on the way to the scrap yard as I write this.

Here's the skid marks as I left the road and entered onto the sidewalk. You can see the hard angle that I shot into and across the inside lane. Man, what a lucky guy...



Here's the entry point where I went up onto the sidewalk, taking out some mulch and a bush on the way. BTW... I did straighten up the mulch and replant the uprooted bush before I left. Gotta think green I came to rest inches away from an elevated manhole.



Here's the sidewalk's rear wheel impact point. Also a close-up of where the rear wheel hit. I was sliding driver's side forward. What's troubling is the large scrape behind the wheel impact. It looks like my frame scraped or something. I'm getting ready to head out to the garage and ger her into the air for an inspection. I'll post pics of findings, if any.
