I prefer a bit more toe-to-tire clearance than that.

Seriously, I am glad you are OK. As others note, the frame appears to be OK, as well. If the fork is straightened slowly and carefully by someone who knows that they are doing, it may be salvageable. Otherwise, a Cresta is too nice a frame to part out of scrap, so find a usable replacement fork and continue to enjoy the ride. Fear of front wheel mishap is one reason I use panniers on a rear rack, instead, with just a small handlebar bag up front.
