Glad your wife is OK.
If the 1/2 ton is like the HD trucks, the hitch assembly is actually a cross member. I would check it over very closely for damage. They are designed to rotate upward in a crash. You should be able to put a drawbar in it and see if that has happened at all. I would also inspect welds for cracks.
And yes, have the shop check it very closely too.
Good luck,
Scott
