For now, at least. Dad managed to reconnect the mangled O2 sensor wire and the CHECK ENGINE light turned off. After a few more OBDII scans, there were no more codes, and all was well. All in all, it took about 45 minutes in the creepy, dark parking lot of this Econo Lodge to find a remedy for this problem. It's only temporary, though. The connector needs to be replaced as soon as possible, or it might just come apart later on.
As of now, the only other damaged caused by the tire is the front bumper. Apparently, the tire struck the very lip of the bumper first. This bent it downwards on the mounts a little bit and ripped each nose mask hook out of its hole. The bumper now sits noticeably lower than before the impact but it's not too big of a deal right now.
Keep reading for later updates.
