White indicates water. So its possible you overheated it and blew a headgasket, especially since the fan wasnt spinning.

Easily, because you hit the front end, I'd look for damage to the radiator (which Im sure it has some). Youre probably out of coolant as well. With no coolant a 302 will over heat in seconds.
