Little Accident: New Front Bumper

Alright, so I let me buddy drive my car around for a little bit yesterday, because he was visiting from college and was without a car. I was at a concert all day, so I was like yeah, sure take it just be careful. This guys like my brother, but anyway he was taking a turn at like 50, which he honestly told me. Lost control went off the road into the ditch and got stuck. Long story short, he comes over today and tells me that he wrecked it. Mud all over the front so he went eating into a mound I'm guessing, front bumper right is cracked (not bad, just like 3 or 4 inches long), and I can feel my car pulling to the right now. My question to you all is....now when I turn left my car almost bounces back to being straight without me even having to touch the wheel....any ideas? I don't think it's a control arm or anything that serious, just maybe an alignment? He's paying for everything, he offered, which is cool, so I might just go aftermarket from bumper/lip, iunno. Anyway just let me know what yall think.

Oh yeah, that's the first thing I asked, and he's like nope, not a scratch on me. BTW infinite it's right off of Drainsville, not quite sure of the intersection.
