The "minor impact" was probably enough to trip the inertia switch that controls power to the fuel pump. Not knowing what type of vehicle you have, it's hard to tell where the inertia switch is located. Check your owner's manual or a repair manual (Hayne's or Chilton's) for your vehicle to locate the inertia switch (aka fuel cut-off switch).

Try checking for a fuel pump shutoff switch in the trunk by the rear passenger seat. It might look like a red button that needs to be depressed. Look for a hole in the paneling by the trunk hinge. If you have hit a bump or were involved in a minor accident it might trip so your engine doesn't run in the event of an accident.
