Default loads of errors after tow

Wife had a tire burst on her after hitting a pothole..... called tow truck who towed the car (not a flat bed) some 4 miles to our garage. By the time they arrived I was home, started the car to park in drive way and loads of errors came up:

1) ABS light is ON, (brake and drive control system error on idrive)
2) Servotronic failure - steering very heavy!
3) ELV engaged - however car starts anyway with no problems.

Are these related to the tow or just coincidence ? How can i fix them if so? Thanks

I really try to avoid anything except a flat bed.

What kind of car AWD or RWD? What wheels were off the ground during the tow?

They all might just go away when the tire is replaced. The car gets confused when only two wheels are on the ground.
