I'm sorry, hope everyone is ok.

Sorry to see.

Looks like a rear ender. From the one side view shot, it does not look like the frame was bent behind the front wheel. Prob hard enough to bend the cross support behind the radiator, but since it was somewhat of a symmetrical collision, it may be able to be puled back out.

No doubt the insurance will total it, but if the engine, tranny, and rest of it is good, might want to by the car back as salvage and slowly rebuild.

If it has a CVT, junk it or swap a manual in or forget everything I just typed.

Not a cost effective way to go but possibly doable.

Well, Tooter, you are in Nashville! Some of the craziest, worst drivers in the country. Main thing is that you're okay (apparently) and you can always find a ton of parts at Pull A Part! Let us know what you're going to do.

She's really sore. Airbags went off.
It will need to have the top part of the frame cutoff and welded back on.

Coolant is leaking, AC sounded like it cut on last night. No CVT in this one, I wouldn't have bought it if it had a CVT.
I'll have to get more pictures when I can.

I may have to part it out or sale it whole. Still runs great.

Couldn't remember about the tranny.
If airbags plural went off, she's a goner. Too expensive to fix if you want safety going forward. I would sell whole as a nice parts car for a healthy price

Both bags went. A lot of good parts on this one.
