Steering Wheel shakes and vibrates.

I got a 93 Toyota Corolla. Today I was driving and I tried to stop at T intersection at a yield sign, but like an idiot when i tried to stop the car skid right through the intersection and the front end hit a snowbank and ended up on top of it. Now when I was driving on the highway with it I got it over 100 Km/H (60 mph) the steering wheel is really shaky and vibrates really bad. and I let it go of it it'll pull to the left so what I wanted to know is I'm sure it's a wheel alignment that I knocked out but is it possible I did more damage like took out a tie rode or strut? i'm gonna take it to my mechanic tomorrow after work and get him to check it, but I just needed some advice right now. Thanks!

It's possible, but I think it's unlikely you took out a strut or tie rod.

What about a bent axle or cracked axle?

Alignment, and possibly a strut. Take off the wheel and get a better look at things, take pictures and post them up here if you can.

Check the boots on the axle, to see if you blew them up.

It,s probably snow. That I had that same vibration problem a couple of days ago and when the snow melted off, I didn't have that problem anymore.
