Today I was driving my vehicle listed above. I went to park and clipped the passenger side against a pole in the shopping center. A fair bit of yellow paint across the side of the car. When I want to turn left, the blinker noise inside the car when indicating is much faster than normal. Also, once I got out of the car, the rear indicator works albeit it's flashing a bit quicker and the indicator in front doesn't work at all. What's most likely the issue?

Yep, this is the cause for the fast blinker operation. This guide can explain more on the problem, and I have included how to fix the front blinker to help fix the problem

It must have popped the bulb when the damage occurred. It is a simple bulb which you can get at any auto parts store. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response to the problem so we can see what's going on.
