wow sorry to hear that it sounds like the head gskt blew but im scratching my head on that one because that is not very comon for the engine in that car, But i would say head gskt since the oil pressure in the car runs way higher than the pressure in the cooling system so thats why it would have blown a hole in the radiator, and mixed in with the coolant, i would not say that the place that changed your oil is at fault they could not have caused that to happen

sounds like a head gasket but with only 61,000, is rather odd. Has the car ever been overheated? I would have thought that the oil changed 23 miles before may have shown some signs of water or oil in water. You may want to find out if installing the oil filter wrong could cause excessive oil pressure.
