Default Tire rubbing

I got in a MINOR wreck yesterday and i think it seriously screwed up my alignment. When i wanted to drive straight, i had to turn the wheel to the right about half way. Another problem that i had was that when i turned the wheel to the left, my right wheel was rubbing against the inside part pointed in the picture. Also the tire has deflated[:@] Anyone know what i could have done? Is it probably my alignment? Thanks.

Yup. Start by putting it on an alignment rack-- its possible that something is bent(depending on how hard the hit was). But it needs to be put on an alignment machine before anything else. Your tire is probably got a small hole in it, although it is possible to have a bent wheel or a small hole in the wheel---which I have seen before. I would take it to a reputable shop & get everything checked out.
