Had an accident and bike frame was adjusted completely and is against the back wheel making it unusable. Can I still fix it though?

**Low cost aluminum frame = no cost effective and safe way to repair the bent / cracked frame.**
From what we can see, the parts don’t look high value either – probably not worth moving to a new frame unless they are undamaged, the frame is a great price, and you aren’t paying a mechanic full price for the labour. Otherwise, almost certainly cheaper to replace the complete bike.
Sorry. In theory, it can be repaired. But in practice, the cost of welding and the heat treatment required make not worthwhile.

Frames fucked. You need to replace the frame.
