Your daughter is indeed fortunate! Please mention that she was wearing her seatbelt. She had to be, or she would have airbag injuries to collar bone, ribs, etc.. from air bag.
Forget the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock hand placement on steering wheel. Use the 9 and 3 clock positions. Minimize air bag injuries to arms. Observe where police officers grasp the wheel. Too often, I see they have only one hand on steering wheel, at bottom of wheel, including our former police chief (major mid-west city.)
I do go to 10 and 2 positions in tight situations.
