After a bump car won't start

Post by Newbie206cc2016 »

Hi all, so this evening I have bumped my 206cc polly! Polly is 1.6 and 2001 model, I hit someone from behind, it wasn't high speed I was still in 1St gear, not even enough to deploy airbags, however she wouldn't start afterwards, my uncle came to tow me and had a look I had pierced radiator slightly, but obviously this wouldn't cause the problem, no warning lights came on and it turned over just didn't fire up, I've checked manual online as I don't have original and can't find any clues, is it possible it has a fuel cut off that could have been triggered, even though the airbags didn't deploy?? My uncle is a méchanic so will be fixing it but I'm impatient and was googling this evening to try and gage what I'm looking at, if anyone has any sort of clue please can I have your advice....
