I suspect that impact shifted something that interrupts normal electric path
and/or mechanically prevents rotation.

I'm going to try Kaleb's idea first, and try jumping it directly from the
battery, see if it will spin with no solenoid engagement and then see if
12.5 VDC directly to the solenoid will kick it over.
If that fails, then I'll pull the starter, take it apart and see what's
going on. Maybe it can be revived.
If no repair is possible, I'll consider swapping the starter from my wagon
into the sedan, but the cost / benefit analysis to this exercise is
becoming a consideration. If I had a spare starter on the shelf...

Seized starter is one failure mode -- happened to me. Solenoid would
work
(you could hear it engage) but starter was locked up.
