Default Car won't crank over..

Hey guys, this is my first post on here and I wish I could have started out with something better to say but anyways, Monday night I totaled my 2002 Z-28. The problem now is that the engine wont start. Everything looks relatively undamaged under the hood and all, oil levels still good and all that jazz. It won't crank over. You turn the key and everything electronic comes on, then when ya go to start it nothing happens. Any idea on where I can start looking for a solution to the problem? Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear it got totaled but maybe your battery got damaged in the wreck.Did it get on that side or did you see any fluids leaking after the wreck. In all honesty it could be anything wrong with it if it was damaged in the front end.
