Default fuse blows on fuel pump after hitting deer

a while ago a car in front of me on a busy highway hit a deer, it flew over his car after inflicting a lot of damage, the driver kept going....the deer went right under my vehicle and the antlers must have damaged the wiring to the fuel pump.....a friend climbed under the van and reconnected the wiring...yet it keeps blowing the fuse to the fuel pump........no vehicle damage the deer went under the passanger side of the van, I went a few feet and the engine shut down.........

had to tow it home where it has sat...every fuse keeps blowing.......is this just a simple to fix wiring problem ... to the fuel pump or maybe some other problem????

I'd recheck the repair the wires may have chaffed or scraped and are grounding out to the chassis
