I can see how that would keep the engine from starting. But did that make the brake pedal act strangely, or keep the transmission from going into neutral?

In our case, the engine won't even turn over. Also, I forgot to mention that it gave a "chassis stability" warning when we tried (and failed) to start it.

It's sitting at the BMW dealer's body shop, waiting for people to show up Monday morning.
My guess is that the accident got into the brake lines
