Default abs light

so the other day coming home from my girlfriends light i came over the crest of this hill and much to my suprise i found a road construction sign in the middle of my lane i tried to swerve but ended up hitting it with the right side of my car. i blew out hte right front tire banged up the fender, door, and roof. tore the mirror off adn shattered the back window.
now onto my question. since the accident my abs light and ebrake light come on when im driving up around 60mph. if i stay below that they wont come on. but the brakes feel fine. any clues what this could be? is it even related to the accident? or just coincidence?
thanks

Just and FYI, the "BRAKE" light will also come on when you are low on brake fluid. It's not just an e-brake light.

I guess it's possible an ABS sensor and the caliper is damaged. A leaky caliper would account for low brake fluid and the BRAKE light turning on. I have no clue why it will only do that above 60 mph.

You might have knackered the ABS sensor when the tyre blew.

My light came on too. I took it in and the dealership said that the sensor wires were all messed up. They replaced that and I'm good now.
