Car was run over a culvert that damaged the lower left corner of the radiator and the a/c condensor. No damage observed to any thing else under car but car would not start back up. We towed it to a repair shop and they say the engine is locked up. Any help greatly appreciated. Bill

Dunno what's happening here but the only way to tell if the engine is locked-up is manually turn the crankshaft if it doesn't buldge/move with full force or with an impact wrench then consider it seized
