Question Car died while driving!

I went to paranormal activity and when I was leaving I hit a pot hole and the car died! In all seriousness when I hit the pot hole, it blew the ignition fuse and my engine shut off. So I replaced it and blew it again? Any ideas, having it towed to the dealership tomorrow.

go through the pot hole in reverse to reverse the effects...

check the battery cables first... it's easiest. if not that, it sounds like something shorted. check around the coil if it's in the ignition system.
