My wife was in a car accident last night where she rear ended someone.
She drives a 94 toyota camry le, The front end is pretty messed up but
the damage doesnt look like it went to far into the engine
compartment. The problem is the car wont start though. The car will
crank like normal it just wont start so im wondering if there is an
inertia/fuel cutoff switch in this car? if that is not it is there
anything else i should take a look at that would be a common problem
after an accident? We will be taking it to a mechanic and body shop
to have it looked at but we only had liability insurance so no towing
and id like to at least get it running so i dont have to get it towed
there.

thanks in advance for any ideas on where to start

You need to make sure the airbags get properly fixed. You want the new
airbags to go off at the time of a crash while it is occurring, not before
(i.e., the cause of the crash). Too often, shops don't know what they're
doing or they do, which is ripping people off and endangering them.

A crash severe enough to deploy the air bags probably caused other damage.
Check for spark first, make sure the coil wires are still attached and no
ground wires have come loose.

Reset the fuel trip. Ford and Toyota are two of the few vehicle
manufacturers that provide a trip to shut down the flow of fuel in an
accident.
