So I hit a pothole I Boca Raton FL, it sounded like my car blew up, to say the least, my dash computer immediately notified me of a flat (I have run flats) and also warned of other internal errors. Long story short, I had to get it towed, rim is terribly bent, and computer system is still messed up. My question is I also noticed a verticle dent above the back passenger door ( same side as the initial impact). Is it possible the pothole caused enough damage to actually crunch the frame like that?

There are wiring harnesses and modules that have sustained damage and might even have totaled the vehicle

Do you think it could have caused the dent seen in the picture?
