Had wheel come off while driving..

Hello,...

Sad sad day


I was heading to a grocery store 1.5 miles away, when all of a sudden on a straight away it just came off and there I was, riding on the rotor...Thank god there were no cars around, and also that the car still felt "controllable". My rotor actually looks okay, the same with the studs/lug nuts/wheel. The only thing that got damaged was my front fender, it's bent in a little, I'm thinking from the wheel? Everything just came off clean.

I had a fellow car enthusiast in a silver mazda hatch pull over and actually offer his assistance. I can't believe how helpful he was, everyone else, even fellow subies, just kept going and staring. The guy even ran 2 blocks down the street and found 4 of my lug nuts, so we just installed the wheel back and I drove home.

So it doesn't look like anything was even damaged, even the rotor, but what are am I looking at as far as damage goes? What should I be looking at? on the drive home the car felt fine, but I also took side streets and drove 5-10mph...Really scared to even drive my car now and don't know of any mechanics that would come check it out.
