Not unusual: Many times in such accelleration/decelleration injuries that invovle the neck show up a day or@ later same with the l spine. Best to be seen by an orthopedic surgeon and have x-rays and an xame. Keep a diary of the accident, where, when etc. And when ssx began and log into it daily. May never need it but do not rely on ur memory to recall things 1-2 yrs later if needed.
