Massive transmission fluid loss 200

I suspect one of the cooling lines. If not leaking near the radiator, check near the transmission. They are known to break at the transmission without impact anyway, but they usually don't break catastrophically.

It's possible that the fitting on the radiator is damaged also. If a cooling line is broken, it should be easy to spot since it'll pump the transmission out of fluid in a matter of minutes.

If the radiator fitting is broken, you could mount an external transmission cooler instead of using the radiator--or replace the radiator, not a bad idea after a collision that requires front end pulling anyway. For cooling lines, the best choice is replacement, but they can be spliced. The lines are not terribly expensive straight from Volvo.
