What Causes Loss Of Vision For A Few Minutes On A Fall?

Today I fell off a skateboard and going very fast down a hill, grazing all over and damage to front teeth and nose. The nose is still swollen but looks straight. Minutes after the accident I completely lost my eyesight for around 2 minutes, I am assuming I was in shock, or it was concussion. The doctors at the hospital did not say much regarding that. I am just curious.
