Seek treatment: Hi! Pain in the back area a few hours or even several days after a car accident may be a symptom of a herniated disc, soft tissue injury, spinal injury, sprain or whiplash. If you experiencing numbness or tingling as well as back pain, you may have pinched nerves. All these conditions can cause debilitating pain and mobility challenges, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as back symptoms

Accident, back pain: You definitely need to seek medical attention for your back pain. The link between your accident and your current back pain seems weak, as it sounds that the back pain started some time (not included in your post) after the accident. Further exam and imaging if needed should help in clarifying.
