So Iw as coming back from my ex's...driving about 60 on a country road...anyway long story short, we have had massive rain lately, i wasn't thinking of roadways being covered, but needless to say i stumbled upon one about 8 inches deep. I hit it full speed, 60 miles an hour, didn't even see it till the last second. Before i knew it I was in a 360 degere spin with half my car off the road. The spin sent water everywhere in huge amounts. When I had finally calmed down (Scared me to death, felt like the car was gonna roll and flip) I turned the car off because there was a lot of steam coming from under the hood. I turned the key but it didn't respond. It won't turn over. I think the spark plugs may have gotten wet. There's no way that enough water got into the intake to do damage.

I left the car at a locals place right by where I went off. I'm gonna go tomorrow to check the car out, it SOUNDS like I broke an axle too. But about the motor, what should I do tomorrow if it doesn't start? Can I take the spark plugs out or is that too risky? Any advice would be great.
