Backing up hit cement light pole Engine died

Well the title about says what happened, I have a no start condition now. Question is what would fail suddenly with a mild stop from concrete post hit by trailer ball?

The tow truck trip home is a classic tale of what not to do, any interest?

When people add kill switches to these, they often go to the IDM. maybe check that connection?

also check the connector to the CPS. would not hurt to change it if you have a spare.
when cranking, does the tach move?

my first thought too. but usually a light rear bump will not trip the inertia switch.
