I crashed really bad

I was cruising down Riverside Dr in Manhattan and a van pulled a u turn directly in front of me. I hit and went flying, I think over the van but im not sure. I broke my wrist and badly bruised or maybe broke the other. My knee also got banged but seems to be OK.

My bike, a CF beauty, came out almost unscathed. The steerer tube broke on my fork, but the carbon didn't. the frame barely has a scratch. One of the brifters, chorus, broke and Im not sure where. My front wheel had a few broken spokes, but the wheel didn't potato chip, the rim looks like it may still be true. I say this as a response to those that say a cf frame won't survive. It didn't bend chip shatter or anything else.
