I have a 2005 CRD that after sliding on a complete icy road, the driver front corner hit an embankment and flipped onto the driver side. I need to know if there is an emergency automatic fuel shut off and if so where it is. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

I don't think there is one. Is the fuel system still primed?

It was running fine before the accident. After, it was not. It put up a code for a large fuel leak, after clearing all the codes it did not reappear. After jumper cables it cranks like crazy just won't turn over. How do I prime the fuel system cause I have never needed to do it on this vehicle.

There should be a hand pump on the fuel filter body & a bleed screw, open the bleed and pump until fuel without bubbles comes out, then close the bleed.
I think this is the filter you have, it's a picture from Google because mine is the old type.
You must be registered for see images attach


Is there still fuel in the tank showing on the gauge? I think they have a low level cutoff that prevents them from trying to run if the tank is really low.
The other thing you say is it cranks like crazy, is it turning at normal crank speed or faster than normal? If the engine was running when it went over it may have been damaged if it wasn't shut off quickly.
