What about the inertia(Or however its spelt) switch under the bonnet?
happened to a friends car going over the "Joins" on a motorway bridge Lol.

You might have dislodged the main engine earth strap on the gear box.

+1 for the fuel stop/inertia/big red button under the bonnet near the bulk head - cuts the fuel in the event of a shock - push to reset.

Although "no engine lights on" indicates more of an electrical issue.
