Wheel sorta falling apart

i crashed dirtjumping on the weekend and i realized that my quick release lever was bent, although it was bent it still went through the wheel and stayed tight so i thought it was fine.
fast forward to today i went dirtjumping again and when i got home and went to put my quick release back in the wheel (i have to take the wheel off in the car) there was a punch of little bb looking balls which i belive are from the bearings, and this part that goes in the rim fell out.
do any of you guys know if this is fixable? i plan to take it to the shop this week but i still wana know what you guys think

the last picture is the thing that fell out of the hub

You snapped your axle. Assuming you didn’t damage anything inside the hub shell riding it while it was broken, it’s a pretty easy fix to replace it.

FYI the axle didn’t fall out of your rim (what your tire mounts to) it fell out of your hub which is the thing that is connected to your rim by the spokes. The BB looking balls are your hub bearings.
