If it's creased it's probably for the bin. In all liklihood if it was gas pipe or similar you could ride it for years and it wouldn't fail, anything nicer and you're doomed. Ask @hoops what happened to his first Talbot after he crashed into a mtb'er.
It will also have messed with the geo, so expect it to ride weird.
You won't be able to straighten it as it would require a large amount of force, and would leave a far weaker area behind.
If you like the frame, contact Winston Vaz of varona Frameworks (of dad fame) who can repair easily.

Is it worth fixing front end damage?
Had a collision today and now there's a small bend under the top and down tubes.
Would straightening it out weaken the steel?
