Ouch, sorry to hear about that man, glad no one was hurt.

Hard to believe that the differential going out could cause that level of control loss. Sounds more like something on the suspension breaking. Any idea what exactly on the differential broke/seized and how that caused the car to move so violently?

Hopefully you will be able to salvage at least some of what you put into it.

Ouch!! Glad no one was creamed in that incident. Things could have been much, much worse. Regardless of what else happens, any day you can walk away from an accident is a GOOD day....
