She is wrecked...

Rear control arm broke on the driver side rear wheel during a slow speed turn. Rear end steered into concrete barrier, contacted it and tore up the rim, rear bumper. The control arm snapped in half...I was rear ended a year ago and wonder if the control arm was damaged and the damage was not caught during the post fix inspection. I am very lucky I was not driving like a usually drive.

With the control arm being broken...what should I be concerned about? I imagine I will need a alignment for starters. What about the drivetrain being torqued? I just want to be smart when I start asking the adjuster/auto shop the questions.

Bad week: I have the flu, my grandfather died, and I wrecked my car. Things come in three's, so I think I should be good for a little while.
