2011 Won't start, won't shift

First post here so take it easy on me. Also, take it easy with my member name. I'm a Duramax guy but I own several Super Duty's for business use. I have a 2011 Ford F-250 XL gasser that is primarily a plow truck and it's in a unique situation. One of my employees backed it into a curb jamming the rear wheels and putting strain on the drivetrain. After shutting it off, we needed the truck but it wouldn't start. I can hear relays clicking in the fuse box but the engine will not turn over. I called AAA to have the truck towed but the truck would not go out of park and because the drivetrain is bound, the transfer case will not shift into neutral. Any ideas before I roll out a jack to raise the rear end to get the transfer case in Neutral?

Is it still jammed up against the curb? If so then drag it out a few inches to get the strain off the driveline. If he pushed the driveline forward far enough to keep trans from coming out of gear then you have some serious damage inside transfer or transmission. Crawl under and look for broken transmission or transfer case. As far as not cranking. He would have had to shove the driveline quite a distance to lock engine and trans together.

A picture would be worth a thousand words in this case.
