I hit a pole causing front end damage and steering column air bag deployment. The car ran well for 20 miles then shuttered, with Brake failure and transmission service messages. Dash guages stoped working, along with t rans shift issues. Any ideas?

That's enough trauma to suspect multiple wiring harness damage and wheel damage.

If the car doesn't reliably detect wheel speed, it can/will throw both trans and ABS codes

As above, looks a little like you are missing power from the alternator/battery, perhaps due to a short in the wiring or some other reason
