if you feel savvy enough, check to see if it produces spark and also check if the fuel pump is working. If no spark usually a problem in the distributor. if no fuel coming out of the fuel line, maybe bad fuel pump. need to check if pump is not working.
Many vehicles have a fuel shut off switch that cut the fuel pump of when the vehicle is in a collision, I believe the one on the Honda is located in the trunk (boot), it looks like a relay with a button on top, the button needs to be pushed down to reset, you should hear a click. If it is not in the trunk, look across the bulkhead or inner wing area, a Honda agent may give you a better location.
Have you checked if there's an inertia switch. This switch cuts off power to fuel pump in case of a collision, although it could fail for no reason. it is usually losated near the front or rear bumper.
Some cars have an inertial shut-off switch for the electric fuel pump. That switch is sensitive to impact and is designed to shut off the fuel pump in case of collision.
After a collision it may be hard to tell where the fault lies. I would start by checking all connections in the engine bay as well as for any damage to the wiring. Does your radiator still have fluid? If this has leaked out, then your engine could have seized.
