there should be a fuel pump shut off safety switch somewhere that has been tripped due to the crash. once it's reset it will probably start. on alot of the cars it's in the trunk on the left side. So I'd start in the back or call a dealer and ask them where the switch is.Or if you have the owners manual it should tell you were it's at
Just tell them.
You go up to them and tell them to shut up.
