Default truck won't start

I recently got into a minor accident with my 2005 f150 FX4 and all that happened was a blown tire and broken headlight and now it won't start. I put a screwdriver to the starter and it appears to be getting a spark but the truck won't turn over. any suggestions on what to do.

Can we get a little more description of whats going on.

Does it even try to turn over?

When you turn the key does the radio turn on?

Is it a slow crank, or just a click?

It could also be the fuel pump cutoff switch by the fuse panel. This switch is made to cut off voltage to the fuel pump in the event of an accedent and/or rollover (prevents a fire).

As previous poster mentioned, we could use more info; does the starter spin the engine?

You might want to try startin' it with your key, instead of a screwdriver. I think the screwdriver could be your problem.
