03 Mini Cooper Front Radiator Damage

Hey all, I'm new to the forums. Unfortunately I was brought here by some front end damage my Mini sustained earlier today. Long story short, the ole Mini got forced over a large chunk of 18 wheeler tire around 50 mph. Ended up tearing the front plastic trim off, damaging the front grill and the front radiator. Couldn't tell as of yet if there is damage to the larger radiator behind. Front radiator is leaking a clear, slightly viscous liquid and the coolant reservoir is almost empty.

Unfortunately, I'm not too car savvy so I'm in a bit of a rut. I'm wondering if this is driveable to a shop. There is no sign of overheating. The A/C stopped working, after the damage. Car is a 2003 stock Mini Cooper. Thanks in advance.
