Went over a bump too fast and now two tires in drivers side keep going flat?! Please help ASAP!!!?

Okay so a week ago I was going to my boyfriends house at night, I had my regular car lights on and there was a stop sign I couldn't see so when I passed it there was a huge speed bump thing right after it and my car went over it, hit the ground, it sounded like a shotgun went off and I was pretty shaken up...I continued driving and when I got to his house the tires were flat on my drivers side and ever since then my "trac off" light keeps coming on while I'm driving and my radio and stuff flicker also, it scares me to drive it now and I want to know what I can do to fix it! I just got new tires because the front drivers side one kept going flat also, I drive a 2004 pt cruiser limited edition if that helps any. Thank you!!!

    Reading your question, I hope you aren't driving around on flat/deflated tires !!

    You've probably bent or cracked your wheels - - - so you probably need new wheels. . . and maybe more new tires.

    Yep, you really screwed the car up. No telling what's broke or out of alignment underneath. Find a reputable mechanic and get it looked at. Next time, put the phone down. This isn't the first time you've taken the same route to your boyfriends house.

    You pretty much messed up ur cruiser and need to take it into a shop. Your gut is right, it is not safe to drive if ur traction light is on. If any lights come on you have to bring it in and get the codes cleared from your car's computer. Maybe ur bf knows a mechanic

    You couldn't see the stop sign at night? The big red stop sign made of reflective material? I don't think you should be driving.
