Dodgeed a person who spun out in the snow, slid into a curb:/

As the title states, it is snowing heavily here in WA. I believe the person in front of me was on their phone, when he looked up he panicked and swerved, he was in a prius go figure., I was already a good 6-7 car lengths behind, while he spun out and did a full circle or so. I managed to dodge him but slid slideways into a curb. Afterwards my steering wheel is shaking pretty decent at 20-30whp with the anti lock light on. Just wondering if you guys had any idea what might be broken so I can prepare for the damage! and yes I will be brining the car to a shop soon.
I hope all you guys are doing well.

Sounds like something is bent. Hopefully just the wheel

But the fact that the ABS light is ON may indicate that the sensor is not in close contact w/the tone ring (hopefully it just needs to be reset or replaced)

I would pull the wheel & check all the front end components for obvious issues

You need to have the wheel checked & the front end

Quick clip of the sensor

Bent tie rods, damaged wheels, and damaged wheel bearings I believe are the typical things.

Thank you for the replies guys, I am going to my local tire shop here to get some new tires and going to check my sensors and everything else. I appreciated it. Especially the diagram. hopefully my worst case is just tie rods and wheel
