I would take it to a shop that specializes in frame's and axle's . Let them take a look , they possibly could easily straighten it with ease if there is a problem. Todays frame straightening equipment can straighten semi frames with ease , probably rip a 4R in half .....lol.

I have a friend with a state of the art shop for this , it's mind blowing what they can do. Majority and primary objective to his business is semi tractors , not cars.

Your frame is not damaged. It takes severe impact to damage a frame rail. Since you went into a ditch, you most likely have damage to the steering linkage.

Regardless of what you bent it can all be fixed so don't fear.
