Welcome to AF. Did you look under th car and see if oil pan is crushed/damaged? Just running into a ditch no other issue or impact, could not cause this, some info is missing here.

Bet there is a big dent in bottom of the oil pan more or less sealing off the oil pickup..

Well if oil pan has NO dents at all, something is sure strange, what about oil filter? do they hang where they can get dented?
Hmmm, i see now you changed oil filter too, beats me whats wrong. You sure there isnt a very shallow dent all the way across the pan thats hard to see?
