truck fell in a manhole

well we had our first snow, and I sent all our trucks out for plowing. I took the easy ones seeing as I can do that. I pulled into a carwash that we push and was driving around looking for my best point of attack, when SLAM my front driveside wheel fell comepletly into a man hole!!!!!! the cover was slid to the side and covered with snow!!!!! turns out all of them have been removed, im thinking someone was trying to destroy some trucks. Well once I got out it seems my wheel is out of allignment, What I am trying to figure out is what could I have broke, nothing is making noise or looks bent? I guess im also just sharing my horror story and telling all the other plowers to be ware!

I would be talking to the city maintence guy to find out what happened. A couple years ago that happened where i live. My mom hit one with her car damaged the front end pretty bad, and the city paid for all of the repairs, because they did not mark the manhole

Wow dude -- that'd piss me straight off!

There are all sorts of things that can be bent that you wouldn't know - tie rods/knuckle/wheel/linkages

Get it on an alignment machine and the tech should be able to tell you what needs to be addressed...
