Too vague, too soon: It is difficult to answer such question without a thorough history, exam, possible x-rays and/or a mri. The type of collison, severity and speed of impact, and your position in the vehicle are all needed to get some clues. Your symptoms may change within 24 hours or even several days or months. Should see a doctor asap to evaluate.
