Auto fuel shut off after impact?

I have an '03 V70 wagon with approx 160,000 miles. I very lightly rear-ended another car (no damage to theirs, slight dislocation of my front bumper). Immediately after, when I tried to start the car to reverse and examine the damage, it would not start.
The starter worked, but no ignition. Is there an automatic fuel shut-off at or after impact on this model? If so, where can it be accessed to re-set?

On That car there is an engine shutdown when airbags deploy. It resets with ignition switched off and back on.
There is something else that is making it a no start.

OK, thanks. Airbags did not deploy, but are not functioning at the moment. Will keep hunting.

Does the engine attempt to run at all?
