How's the front hood latch?
Pics of the trunk lid, hood and hood latch mechanism will also help.

The hood won't open so the latch is most likely broken .

sorry to see! looks a little bowed but it will be the insurance's call. depending on the whole assessment, it could still be totaled. i hope not!

the repair of the quarter alone will be more than the car's worth, sadly.
