Sealed Passenger Door

OK so a Toyota 4Runner runs a red light and hits my passenger door and quarter panel. The passenger door now will not open from the inside or outside. Any suggestions on what i can try to do to get it open and also what am I gonna need to fix what is damaged as far as the lock assembly? Thanks.

You will need an entire door brother, and most probably the remote lock assembly, you will have to look at it and see if its damaged. I would take a guess and say the hinge is damaged also. Take a trip to the junkyard, or contact aliga here on the forum.
