A man was driving when his car was hit from behind. The impact was hard enough that he hit his head on, and cracked, the windshield, but he was able to walk out of the car himself, experiencing some aches, pains, and bleeding. Which injuries most likely occurred?

The impact could cause contusions, which are bruises or other tissue damage from blunt force. Hitting the cracked windshield could also break the skin and cause lacerations, especially since he was bleeding. Burns are not suggested by the crash description.
