Old Honda Accord Suspension Failure
 

I've seen a few pre-1994 Accords broken down on the side of the road with
the exact same problem: The left front wheel jammed up inside the wheel well
perpendicular to the side of the car.

In total I think I've seen four like this in the last year or two. What's
going on?

that sounds like some people driving on bad cv joints untill they heat up so
hot from lack of grease that they just break and that happens to any car.
