Car died going down hill. Please help
 
Okay, so before y'all jump ahead and go on and on about searching know that I did but I couldn't find someone with a specific problem like mine.

I was on the way home from school and its raining here. I gotta go down a grassy hill to get to my house and usually it isn't that wet but not thinking it would be that bad I went down it. Well my car dragged the grass an awful lot and the car died at the bottom of the hill and won't start back up now.

Im thinking that maybe something came unplugged or something like this. Could this be the issue or is it something more serious?

maybe wet mud went into the engine bay and shorted some wires?

possible a cracked block if it was really wet, similar when people drive through water with their car.

maybe? not sure.

Yeahh, Im not sure. I just went out there and it started right up. So i don't know. It was idling regular too. CEL wasn't even on. Im thinking about bringing it to my uncles shop just to check under it and make sure its nothing serious.
