Ran over in car. Battery may have leaked phone won’t turn on iPhone 6

Dropped my phone and by the time I returned to it, it was completely intact in the case but not turning on. The flash seems to have changed half orange which makes me think battery has been internally squashed and leaked. Can I repair? How much will it be? Can’t get my pics or anything synced with pc. Totally dead.. have I lost them for good? iCloud off due to storage :(

It's hard to say without seeing a picture. It's hard to imagine that a phone that was run over by a car would be worth fixing for the sake of the phone. You will probably have to change so many parts that it won't be economically viable for an iPhone 6.

However, recovering your data is worthwhile as an experienced micro-solderer can focus on fixing the logic board and only use temporary spare parts to make the phone work "enough" that we can recover the data via iTunes.

Based on the limited information you provided, that is the best I can say at this point.

I took it to a private repair shop and the man said He tried a new screen and battery but it wouldn’t turn on so he is sending it away for a specialist to try repairing the ‘chips’. He said 50/50 chance it’ll work. Fingers crossed!

It doesn't look too bad...I was imagining much worse. Let's see what the micro-solderer repair shop will say.
