Definitely swap that spare onto the front---don't run it on the rear--- you don't want to have to replace your rear diff as well!!

Swap the donut onto the front ASAP!!!!!!!

It is a different diameter then the OEM rear tire and it will KILL the diff FAST, like 100 miles fast!!!

Did I capitalize enough in that sentence??

..call your insurance company.

And post pics of the damage and the whole car. All I can tell from that pic is that you need a new wheel.
He's got another post in the NE section stating he does not have full coverage
Unbelievable. Hard lesson to learn.

Get a new wheel and try and get the alignment right. That looks like a bad hit, if they cant get the alignment straight I HIGHLY suggest replacing the entire suspension setup on that corner

You're gonna need new rear control arms, and inspect the rotor, make sure it's not cracked. Possibly a new hub as well. About $1500-2000 in damage here after labor.

PLEASE put the spare in the front. Difference in rolling diameter is probably worse for your car now than your exploded wheel.
