Many if not most of the current production cars have an impact sensetive switch that breaks the electrical circuit to the electric fuel pump and will not allow the fuel pump to operate if the side or rear is impacted heavily enough or at a predetermined angle. It requires you to access and reset the switch inside the rear trunk area before the pump will operate again.
