Default I had an accident and now my car won't start

I have a 2004 Is300 and I slide backwards in a wall and now my car won't start. I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is. I did what the book said about reseting the fuel shut off system and it didn't work. Is there a manual reset switch anywhere. Thanks for any help.

I'm still going to suspect fuel delivery. when you first put the key in and turn it to on (but not to start), you should hear a buzzing sound from the back of the car, which is the fuel pump pressurizing the lines. If you don't hear this and the engine cranks but doesn't turn over, then either the fuel shutoff is still active or your fuel pump broke or got disconnected by the impact.
