3rd gen - hit a curb

It was raining out the other night when I was entering the on ramp of the highway. Instead of following the curve of the on ramp, I got distracted and lost control and went straight, hitting the curb of the driver side front tire and going up on the grass. I took a nice chunk out of the rim and broke the back window. The steering wheel is at a 45 degree angle towards the right and the driver side front wheel is toe'd out. The car pulls to the left and also is choppy and shakey. Theres also a Loud banging metal noise when i cut the steering All the way to The left. Just want to hear some ideas about what I could've done underneath.

Lift the car and take a peek. Perhaps post some pics; otherwise, it's a guessing game.
