Cracked mentors front bumper. HELP!!!!!

i am a student driver for swift and in my 3rd week, I was making deliveries to different companies in the city of Chicago at night. There was an extremely tight turn (the tightest I have ever been in) that I turned into because that is the same way my mentor went in a couple days before. He even told me to watch him make the turn as it was extremely tight. Anyways, I wasn't able to successfully complete the turn as I was too busy watching my trailer to see if it would clear and the passenger side of the bumper hit a guard rail. The bumper wasn't totaled, it's just that the side of the bumper had a minor crack on the passenger side. The mentor said that he would have to report it as an accident. The guard rail had been hit numerous times as there was plenty of damage to it from other trucks making that turn. It's almost like they don't want trucks going that way. There is a car shop right where the guard rail is, so maybe they put it there?


So my question is, will this go on my report and is it an accident? He reported it to swift, took some pics of the bumper and the guard rail. He explained to them that the guard rail has been hit by numerous drivers.

 

We were in team mode so he was asleep

 

Bumper was repaired at the terminal. Only took a couple of hours. Nothing major
