B Millar is likely right.
However, if you're a little paranoid like me....get the car up on a lift for an inspection. The structural components under the car are tough. However, there are various lines that carry brake fluid and gas that are more easily damaged.
Check/inspect all brake, gas, cooling and A/C lines you can see. If the plastic cover behind the radiator or either wheel well liner have been cracked remove them and inspect.
I had a similar incident years ago with my 2000 9-5. One of the brake lines was moved about 1/2" at the back of the car.....and covered with hair (no, Saab has never used hair-covered brake lines).
A fractured gas or brake line can lead to an inconvenient tow down the road.
