Need help, hit a curb because of this god awful snow

This is what you get for going out and trying to get to work because your new boss says "I need you" " Your the only one we got today".
As soon as I get off the phone with that bs I hit the ****ing curb braking one of my new wheels the only nice thing on my ****ing car! Wheel is SHOT and the steering column is catching the brakeline thats underneith it lucklly its not rubbing/grinding against the two fuel lines right next to the brake hardline.

Does anyone know what could have happened if I smacked the curb with the left front wheel, that would cause the steering column to catch on the brakeline under it? I mean everything looks pretty normal as far as front suspension stuff I even noticed that all the bushings are fairly new great now that I got this problem.

When you turn the wheel it turns fine except the knuckle catches on the brake line and it clicks everytime it happens I know if i tried to drive like that for long it will destroy that line, so what could I do to fix this? Could the whole frame have been pushed up on that side causing the clearence issue with the brakeline? I mean i hit the curb hard but at 5-10 mph MAX. When it hit the wheel was facing parallel to the curb thus causing a 4 inch section of the wheel to go BYE BYE (yet it still holds air but im def not driving on that ever again).


AHHH if its not one thing its another.
