Hi oceguera,
you need good mechanical advice so I would be careful doing anything to the vehicle as it does not sound driveable. As long as the car is secure (locked), I would leave it where it is until you have good sound advice. Trying anything without knowing the issues will damage your car even more. You are having a bad day so try not to make it worse.
Please follow this up and I hope you are okay?
Regards and good luck, Stu

You need to pry the selector lever surround bezel trim and reach down on the left side if the lever housing.
You will see a black plastic lever arm. You need to move the small plastic lever and pull the gear selector lever to reverse, neutral etc. Use a long screwdriver or something.
I forget what direction to move the small plastic lever to release the selector lever.
See page 2 of the TSB. The part called mechanism shaft is what you need to move.

I haven't checked the wiring diagram, but is it possible that when you hit the pothole and bent your wheel, the inertia switch tripped cutting out the fuel pump among other things?
On RHD cars the switch is by the driver's right knee, accessible through a small hole in the footwell trim panel. Reach through and press the rubber button down, just in case it has tripped. LHD cars will be similar, one side or the other!
