most cars mini included have a safety switch , when mini's are in a wreck the doors unlock/windows roll down and disconnects the electric system ...

You don't say how hard the impact was ... I'd guess it may have killed the fuel system
thus it will crank/not run

Thanks for the response. I was going about 20-25, It ran for about 10-15 seconds after the hit. I didn't event think of the fuel system. I thought maybe the airbag switch went off, even though they didn't deploy.

I don't have he manual handy , I'd guess it's the inertia safety switch on the fuel system cut off
