Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your Quertle symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible post-traumatic stress disorder. In short PTSD. This is a feature where the person after having an accident has a memory issue and some other short termed symptom. I would suggest that there is nothing to worry about, and you just have to give it some time to pass. However, I also suggest getting a CT brain done, if not an MRI brain to rule out any possible damage. I hope this helps you.
