Somewhere you have a draw on the battery - perhaps something got jarred loose in the accident. This thread has a lot of very good information on electical issues - you might want to take a look and see if it helps. Otherwise, try contacting forum member Bill Curlee and run the issue by him.

First thing comes to mind would be the trunk or hatch light.
