Hello,
This is called 'hydrolocking'. In some cases, the engine will be fine after drying out, cleaning electrical connections, and changing some maintenance items. In other cases, electronic issues will haunt the vehicle for years, and the engine can suffer internal damage.
Be very selective of who inspects and repairs the vehicle, and consider contacting your insurance company to seek coverage if possible.
