Steering Wheel off after accident? Pics attach.
Was in a vehicle accident, traffic slowed and wasn’t able to brake in time. Struck the back corner of a GMC Yukon on the right headlight area, and the left drivers wheel struck the concrete K rail. Approximately 10 MPH. steering wheel is now off about 3” to the left.
Alignment issue or moreso just a simple alignment issue?

You most likely bent a tie rod end or moved the rack. At the worst, you might have nudged the mounting points in the front off their specs. Definitely get it checked out. Driving it like this is unsafe and will not get better.

You probably are already aware, but that rim is likely bent and will need to be straightened / refinished as well.
