Default No battery power getting to car after hitting a curb

My friend was driving home late, and completely ate a curve, shattering a wheel. We've found a little power steering leak, but no damaged wires, and there is no power getting to the car. I've tried removing the ground just to see if any power flickers when i reattach it, i'm going to do the same to the power wire later i guess. I have looked at the wire harnesses in the side, drivers side where the impact was, and nothing looks damaged or stressed at all. I'm thinking she ripped out a ground somewhere but i haven't found any area where it could be. Any advice or anyone whos had this happen please chime in.

Check the ground running from the drivers front wheel well area (its up underneath where the sway bar bushing bolts to. Also, theres a few grounds on the rad support to the left of the battery terminal
