Default V6 problems

I recently purchased a 95 5.0 for myself a year ago and started making mods to it (18 S style rims, 75mm throttle, aluminum heads, intake, ect. ) and my sister fell in love with the car. So for her birthday i decided to buy her a 95 V6 (she doesnt need as much speed trust me). It's an automatic and she crashed it unfortunatly, and when she did the air bags deployed, the light housing got bent and the engine frame, nothing that couldnt be fixed with a little time. She the loves the car and refuses to just get a new one. I've started to take the initiative to repair it, but it wont turn over. I was told by a local ford dealership that the computer shuts down when the bags deploy but it will automatically reset itself. Ive tried to start the car but it just wont turn over. There was no engine damage to the car except for maybe a hole in the radiator hose but thats it. I'm wondering what could be the problem? an suggestion would be a tremendous help, a bit embarassed i cant figuare out whats wrong. could it be the crank sensor got dislodged? my only guess at this point....

There is a fuel cut off switch that is activated when you get into an accident you have to find it and reset it (push button i belive). Its located in the trunk on the driverside i think if not then the passenger side.

If it wont start it could be sensor or switch. You said it would not turn over, another problem entirely. Do your dash lights come on when key turned on? if so, could be your neutral switch .
