Just got in an accident

so i was gettin on the onramp just now, one of those J shaped ones, and while i was on the turn, i hit a wet patch and went flying into the curb. My alignment is definitely off, and the rim looks scuffed, but visually is fine. Anyone know what i should check for in the morning in terms of damage? Im hoping a new rim.tire and a fresh alignment fill solve the issue, but i have no idea yet.

damn that sucks did you hit the curb straight on or from the side? if you hit sraight on your alignment should be ok, i did the same thing when it was snowing and went over a curb and broke a stop sign but my alignment was fine cause i went over the curb straight on.
