What do you guys think?Possible an on-the-rack impact not a riding along impact?

I don't have a garage and my rack is hitch mounted platform style.
I did swerve into the curb but the impact point is pretty close to straight on. The type of curbs were like the parking lot ones they use for each parking spot, lined end to end with a 10" gap between ends.
I swerved, tried to make it through the gap but end of hitting the corner and went down. Hope that paints a better picture...
