Default Vibration at high speed

A couple of days ago I ran my car into a ditch (at low speed) and after gettign the car out, I noticed that the car noticeably vibrates at high speed (around 100 km/hr). What do you think? DO I need to get an alignment done? Or is it something else?

Default Check for snow packed in the wheel. If it's not that you may have bent a wheel

or have something badly out of alignment (not likely if the car tracks straight)

You mean the rim may be bent?
