Exclamation HELP!!!!!! 2002 Intrigue3.5L wont start

Okay I got rear ended at a stop light today no body damgage or nothing,(until) I drove 50 miles the engine light came on so I went to autozone and had it tested the code was p0420 (explainations) o2 sensors, faulty catalytic converter, engine misfire or running condition, large vacuum leak or engine oil leakage into exaughst-valve guide, seals or piston rings. eh no biggy my guess was it was probably how she hit me she busted a weld on my fairly (less than 4 mos old) new catalytic converter. Go to start my car and I get nothing no click no grind chuggin nothing accept all of the lights were still working. The engine light, the service engine soon light, and the brake light were all on the guage cluster. in the On position the brake light and the svs light came on after a few mins. No security light. I dont know what she knocked lose but I noticed my engine felt like it was running differently after she hit me but I thought I was over exagerating or something. Long story short my car is sitting in an autozone parking lot gathering snow with no other codes other than the p0420 code. I hear alot about the ignition issues with these cars but i'm not positive. I know some newer cars come with a kill switch in the rear that flips when in an accident that cuts out the gas and starter is it possable we have one?? Or a ground wire something. PLEASE HELP..
