Hit a curb going 20 mph and my front wheel taco'd

I was cruising down a bike path in Phoenix last Saturday and didn't see a chunk of concrete sticking out. Front wheel folded like a cheap lawn chair the second I hit it. I thought my fork was toast but it turned out okay, just the rim was totally gone. Has anyone else had a crash like that where the wheel took all the damage and the frame survived?

Ngl that's basically exactly what happened to me a couple months back. Hit a big pothole on my way home and the front wheel just folded completely, but my frame came out totally fine. Honestly I was so relieved, I thought for sure the fork was bent but nope, just the rim.

Damn that must've been scary, glad the frame held up.
