Is your battery dead? Or maybe a wire just got disconnected.

One thing to consider if you broke some lights in the accident. A broken bulb could be shorted out and has drained the battery. If you haven't had your lights on though, its probably not a problem.
Check your battery connection for tightness. Those to the starter/solenoid, too. Bad or corroded cables could also be a problem.
Since the solenoid in the starter is just clicking, I would doubt a fuel problem.
Good luck.

You need a new starter. Most likely, it was already on its way out and the impact from the fender bender jolted it just enough to put it out of commission. You could try crawling under the car and hitting the starter with a big wrench or a hammer and that might make it work for a while longer but ultimately you need a new one.

The fuel pump has automatic shut off when you get in a accident. Your owners manul should tell you were the reset button is. That is if this problem occured right after the accident. If not then get a new starter....

Sounds as if the minor impact knocked an electrical connection loose or affected the computer. Needs to be placed on diagnostic to determine the problem.
Sorry, go to a garage.

There is a gas cut off reset button sometimes in the trunk, under the dash or in the glove box. reset it and all is well!
