Default EVERYTIME IT SNOWS!!!

Iv just gone up a kerb at about 15mph , which I didn't see because of the snow.
I was moving out the way of a corsa because they weren't going to stop

Anyway it seems to have pushed the drivers side wheel back, which now catches with full left and right lock, the steering is pulling like mad to the right as well
It only happened an hour ago so I haven't had a chance to look at the damage.

Anyone got bad news for me as to what I might have damaged?
Cheers guys

Could be one of many things. Lower arm,steering rack,suspension strut,hub, anti roll bar or worst case front sub frame. Any of the above could be bent

Same happened to me the other day but luckily didn't bend anything, just knocked tracking out, and grazed my wheel

I have been a bit stupid, and put my summer tyres back on a couple of weeks ago so stuck with re070 tyres in the snow, at least I know that the winter tyres were well worth the investment.

Iv got summer tyres on, I didn't slide though, the snow had covered the kerb and I didn't know it was there
