Description of the problem	Vehicle was in motion on a straight flat stretch of county road traveling at approximately 40 mph.

Vehicle was slowed to approximately 20 mph and turned into a gas station lot and parked. Vehicle was turned off then restarted in case skid lamp could reset. Vehicle was slowly backed about a foot when a loud "clunk" was heard. Vehicle was stopped and rear tire on driver side inspected. At first, tire appeared to be coming off rotor until closer inspection showed that the driver's side rear control arm snapped at the weld near to where it connects to the frame.
