How Can I Fix This Hutch Door? Help!!!

by Jill B
It appears that this hutch door had a fall prior to my purchase. Is there any way to fix? I was considering drilling a hole and screwing and gluing it together from the side if that makes sense. Or will that split the wood?
front view
back view. don't mind my dog in mid yawn.
thought I could drill a hole below the place where the 2 pieces meet and screw it together to give it reinforcement.

    I was going to suggest same thing as Bonnie. Just one of those straight mending brackets would work-it's on the inside so no one sees it.. Then fill with wood filler, sand and paint.
