If its bent you will need to have a frame shop straighten it first

It will require a new windshield, you cannot recycle a used one. Try Safelight for a cheap replacement.

You hit a ditch... If your alignment is off, you definitely messed up some steering (and maybe suspension) components. For sure, you'll need a professional to check it out.

Same with the airbag light.
