There is a "rollover" or fuel cutt-off switch in the trunk of many newer cars that disables the fuel system (the fuel pump) in the event of a rollover or significant accident. The system is designed to prevent a fire in the event of a crash that might cause the fuel system to leak or otherwise be compromised. Sometimes these switches go bad and cause the car not to start. You can sometimes clean them and repair them and sometimes they need to be replaced.

Check in order- the bulb, for any loose wires or connectors at the light, the fuse, or your car doesn't think your trunk is open- so find the switch that contacts your trunk when it is closed and see if it stuck and check its wires and connectors. Hope this helps

What would cause a 97 Dodge Neon not to start after the airbag was deployed?

Very likely the force of the impact also tripped the roll-over switch. Get your owner's manual and find its location. It will probably be mounted behind a trim panel in the trunk. This switch turns off the fuel pump so the engine will stop running in the event of a roll-over. Re-setting it is a simple matter of pushing a button. Finding it is the hard part.
