I have a 1997 4 cylinder Toyota Camry LE and it doesn’t want to turn on after I accelerated (going 80 miles per hour ….. then hit the bottom passenger side on a off road That made my car shut off completely I didn’t notice until I tried to make a turn (while still moving I tried to turn the car and the battery pop cause my red/terminal keeps coming loose , now my car will squeel but won’t turn on fully , thank you for reading this

Well I can't. Sounds like you damage the engine. It might be a locking up inside and be broken. Look to see if the oil pan got wacked which of course would wreck inside parts of the engine

Well, that's what happens when you drive a 26-year-old car like a maniac. It's not clear what you mean by the car "won't turn on fully" - does the engine start at all? As Scotty says you first need to get under the car and do a physical examination to assess the damage.

I haven’t been able to lift the car but I can see some Frame damage underneath it …. Mostly a new engine reason for have a Toyota while having a 1996 Camaro big difference … I was just alone on this and wanted to see Scott’s could be a mind refresher and yes
