Default Can I drive to shop without power steering?

Hi,
I have 2014 R/T, and yesterday one of the hoses of powersteering bursted and sprayed whole engine area with dark brown liquid. When I wanted to at least move the car to my parking spot, I noticed power steering isnt operating (thats when I figured what is the oil spray from).
So, my question is, can I drive the car to the shop (lets say 30km/20miles) to have it fixed, or I am risking further damage to the car and is better to have it towed?
Thank you for any advice

No. You should not. You could burn the pump and/or rack up with no fluid.
