Default No Fuel Pressure After Wreck?

Seems like I have an emergency fuel shutoff switch but the LS1's dont have this correct? There's no fuel pressure as I know the pump isn't bad because it was working fine before the accident. For instance when I try to turn it over the fuel gauge drops below "E" (empty) and then when I have the iginition on it sits at the fuel level. What gives? What else could this be besides the pump?

A short in the wiring, due to being pinched??

I would think the pump and sender have been damaged or dislodged if the wreck was in the rear. Just guessing.

Some cars have G-force activated safety switches that cutoff power to the fuel pump in a crash...Dont know if we have that or not...Good question!
