Ok a bend near the drop out likly means not only was your rear wheel hit but probably in such a manner it yanked on your drop outs realy hard. Check the brace (weld) for the rear drop out and make sure you dont see a clean line of bare metal matching the shape of the frame tube. I had a bmx drop out ripped right out of the frame from a crash before. Regardless it should be repairable just will vary as to how hard it is to fix.
