Certainly, given the mechanism of your injury, it is possible that you have injured your spinal cord after the accident. With the "inability to move your upper body" and loss of sensation, this could represent an injury to the spinal column in the back or neck. However, tingling in the legs can be caused by numerous other problems, including abnormalities of electrolytes (sodium, potassium and calcium) thyroid problems, or vitamin deficiencies. Given the severity of your injury, I would of course recommend that you be examined by a physician who can run the appropriate tests and x-rays and offer you treatment.
