So it cranks but doesn't run? Maybe the impact triggered the inertia switch, which I believe is in the trunk. The inertia switch cuts off the fuel pump after an impact to prevent fires. Google your vehicle make, model, and year and "inertia switch" to see where it is located. (BTW Ford is the only one that has this features, other makes use the ECM to cut off the fuel pump.)
