Low Speed Accident, DSC codes

Last night in upstate New York I was involved in a low speed (35mi/hr in a 50mi/hr zone) accident caused by sliding out on a long patch of ice into a ditch and was towed out by a winch. The car gracefully slid down the slope. No damage to the body of the car, but my steering is about 10-15 degrees off center and I damaged the sidewall of the driver's tire which was replaced with a new one at a tire repair shop. I was able to drive back home 150 miles without any funny noises and the car at the incorrect angle of steering was able to drive straight.

Given the emergency, I will most likely go to a trusted BMW mechanic to evaluate my situation whether just the tie rods/control arms are bent, subframe is bent, or I damaged the strut towers. There may be a possible issue on the rear as well.

Can anyone confirm if these DSC/DSX (4x4/traction control error) codes just related to the steering angle itself?

VGSG 55c3: AWD Limp-Home control activated. No DSC specified nominal torque.

Good news. Only damaged the lower control arm (wishbone) and broke the headlight leveling sensor. Thank you everyone for reading my vague post!
