Steering wheel turned to right and car goes straight (Crashed)

Crashed yesterday didnt hit a car but avoided it and hit a curb and a sign.
The lower part of the bumper (is it called lower balance?) is destroyed.
apart from that all seems fine car tracks straight but the steering wheel is turned right when car going straight , it is not aligned.

Is it just a thing of taking iut the steering wheel and re located or more complicated?

Sounds like the suspension may be messed-up, probably bent tie-rods. I'd have it inspected, sorry to hear it!

No warning message or nothing and the air suspension goes up or down as usual.
Also feels fine while driving

Have the alignment checked, maybe they just need to reset it. Hopefully there is no damage.
