W124 severe pothole damage

I was cruising along at about 30 mph and I hit the deepest pothole I have ever seen. Right front tire and wheel are toast. Maybe even the ball joint, which is no easy job on a 400E since it is welded to the lower control arm. About a day later, I noticed some clanging sounds in the right rear. Sure enough, my rear subframe is broken. I got the damn thing off today, but the front left bolt snapped off and is stuck up in the chassis. Does anybody have any experience removing said bolt. If I can get it out, I can save my beloved Benz. Disclaimer: the subframe must have been weakened by rust to break like that, but being under the car as often as I am, I just didn't see it.
