EVO sensor. Also known as steering speed sensor. Bad power steering pump, hose broke.
I have had this experience more then once. Your speed sensor is the cause. The transmission changes gear based on the info from this sensor. When defective it doesn't register the speed correctly. To check this, watch your speedometer as you drive. if it is dipping low while you are accelerating then the sensor is bad. You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes. When the computer detects a problem it sets a code and locks the trans in 2nd gear. The output speed sensor mentioned above could be one of dozens of causes.
Go to Kragen.com and search for speed sensor. You will find a picture of it.
Thunder, rain, or defective sensor

The speed sensor on a 1996 Honda Accord is found on top go the transmission. The sensor will have a two prong wire clipped into it.
Sounds like it could be the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), but you might check the wiring connections at the sensor which is mounted on transmission.
You start by identifying the cause of the fault, e.g., is the sensor itself, a wiring issue, or an ECM issue? How you go about with the actual repair depends on what the result of your diagnosis is.

A bad crankshaft sensor would stop the engine and not restart.
It is definitely possible that being rear ended can cause the mass airflow sensor to go bad. If the exhaust system has been damaged, it will effect the airflow. Also the impact itself may have jarred the sensor loose.
