2008 Ford Escape Rear Wiper Issues?

We had a decent amount of snow and ice last week and my wiper somehow either bent or something and wasn't wiping the majority of the window. I tried bending it back a little bit to no avail. After more times of trying to wipe it with the car power, I gave up, dumped a decent amount of water on the window, and manually moved the wiper. Now, once it reaches anywhere past a straight vertical position (wiper swings from right to left), it just flops all the way down 180° and will not move from there. Is it a gear issue? Motor? I need it fixed asap because I had to drive blindly through another snow storm last night with no rear defroster. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
