If this has only recently happened i would give him some time, he is likely still scared by it. If it has been a while he may have developed a ptsd like mental state or he may associate people with the accident. On the same hand who could have an underlying injury from it. I would have him checked mefically first, then if it seems behavioural i would have a behaviourist assess him to determine his mental state.
