Default Volvo got Rear Ended

I was sitting at a red light today and my 1990 Volvo DL 240 got rear-ended. The damage isn't that bad. Basically, the bumper seems to be got pushed and stuck underneath the edge of the car. And trim on the trunk popped off also. What I am worried about it is the possibility of damage to my drive train, transmission, motor mounts, rear shocks, or fuel leaks from this. Is any of this possible?

Thanks,
-Darin

That sucks!

You should have nothing to worry about if the bumper is the only thing that is damaged.

How hard of a hit was it?

It wasn't that bad at all. The next day after I calmed down I went and looked the bumper. I thought the bumper was not on right, but as it turns out the bumper looks fine...it's the trimming that is right above the bumper that popped off. The hit was pretty loud, like a loud thunder. but evidentally I guess it wasn't that bad since the bumper isn't really messed up. I haven't taken it to a mechanic yet thought to make sure everything underneath is ok.
