Question dameged C-pillar

so, i got into an accident yesterday, some lady hit my car from the side and my whole left side (driver side) got ruined ... i will post pictures later, i know that my front bumper, left fender, left front door, left rear door, and my left rear Fender (where the gas tank is) plus my rims... they all got smashed... i know you can change everything but the rear fender becuse it is connected to the whole body. when i open my rear door, my fender chassy is bentted and the whole color came off... so pretty much my C-pillar is bented and a chunk of it is broken!!... Does this mean that my car is rided off???

No way to know if your car is 'rided' off until we see some pictures.

Has any of the airbags exploded? But on the surface it looks like it good be repaired, but I still vote for "riding it off"..
