Was the door damaged? IF not, you need to remove the inner door panel to access the linkage and the handle.

LEt me know if you have other questions.

The only thing you can do is remove the door panel from the inside to access the linkage. If I had to guess, I would say the hit has knocked off the linkage or broken it. But you need to remove the panel to identify the problem.
