Welcome to AF!!

The car probably has a fuel pump cutoff switch that has tripped during the collision. It is an inertial switch that is designed to shut off the fuel in the event of a collision. Check the owners manual it should show you where the switch is located. Push it to reset and the fuel pump should start working again.

Welcome to AF.

If the car was hit in the left front, the PCM may have been damaged. Also, the MAF sensor is sensitive to hard shocks and may be faulty.
