Broken Bicycle Axle

Broken rear axle from my old Raleigh bicycle, broken at the bearing retainer. A very rare problem on a bicycle, but my friend has the same model Raleigh and the same thing happened to him. Lucky I was traveling slow when it happened because the wheel dislodged from the frame and wedged back into the frame seizing the wheel. Needless to say I was not looking for a Raleigh this time.
