Can a rear-end collision cause timing chain to break, or malfuntion?

I was rear-ended while driving my nissian quest 2000 van and one week later the van would not start and maybe the timing chain. Could this be from the impact of the collision?

Nissan has a problem with early failure of their timing chains. there is currently a class action. I recently had a rear end collision and now my timing chain is going bad.....

HI
NO I WOULD NOT THINK SO
ALL NEW CARS HAVE THINGS BUILT INTO THEM TO CUT THE FUEL OFF AND THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM
IF THIS IS A INSURANCE CLAIM THEN LET YOUR INSURANCE
COMPANY DEAL WITH THIS
HOPE THIS HAS HELPED IF NOT REPOST YOUR ADD
