The head or the actuator arm most likely broke upon impact. You can try running some recovery tools on the drive and see if anything picks up (which I highly doubt it will work at this point) or send the drive off to a repair lab if you have any important data on the drive. From the sound of it, the drive is trash.
Edit: if you have another drive of the same model laying around, you can try swapping the controllers. I've saved a few drives that way.
