I was rear ended yesterday and I was maybe going about 5 mile sper hour in slow traffic, and a car hit me from behind andit was going at about 10-15 mph. It was still enough to leave me with a stiff neck and a some pain in my neck, but now my lower back hurts too. Could it have been caused by this collission?

You need to go see a doctor to document your pain as soon as possible. If you should need continued care (chiropractor, doctor visits, etc) their insurance company would have to pay. Don't wait any longer. If you have an urgent care, go there.
Yes, your pain is more than likely from the accident. Your lower back may not have been injured, but if your neck was, it can throw your whole spine out of alignment because it's compensating for the pain in your neck.
I hope you feel better soon.

A person can have lower back problems due to accidents. Even minimal shocks such as sneezing can cause disc to herniate or slip causing severe back pain. Muscle strains are more common, however, muscle problems are tender to touch. Disc pain is generally deaper, near the spine, and usually hurt with movement. At any rate, the other person's insurance will likely pay for a doctor to check you out.

It is completely normal to be stiff and sore for a couple days after an accident. The worse is usually the second day, then your muscles will start recovering. If you have any feelings of pinched nerves, numbness, or any other symptoms causing concern, I would suggest going straight to an emergency room.
