Default After car accident, all electrical started failing while driving home

I drive a 2008 Scion XD. I was in a car accident last night. It looked like just cosmetic damage at first. The bumper was pushed up and cracked however, the car was running fine. After we finished insurance exchange and all, I drove home. On the way home, first my power steering went out, then all my notification lights came on (oil pressure, ABS, Brake, Battery), then all lights (including head lights) went out, and by the time I was rolling into my neighborhood I could barely accelerate. I cannot get it looked at until Monday. Suggestions, Ideas, anything to look at now?

check you if you alternator is working. It looks like your alternator stop working and the car was drawing power from the battery. The battery starts losing its charge and your electrical starts going out. Good luck with your car.
