Best guess is that when she hit the curb, it jammed the CV axle into the differential and locked up the transmission. If the line was broken (judging by the comment about fluid), and if all the fluid was lost, the trans burned up. Transmissions appear to run from $175 to up to $500+ for used ones, plus about 5-8 hours of labor puts a transmission R&R in the ball park of $1200+. IMHO, time to scrap the car and get a newer one.
