Back Brakes sticking??

OK so the driver side of my truck was hit about two weeks ago, it was a low speed accident in a parking lot but it was enough to maybe total the truck, well i have not driven the truck since the accident till this last Friday. so rite off the bat something did not feel rite, like it was sluggish. so i keep going as i was going fishing and i started to smell some hot brakes i pull over and they are smoking!! so get under there and i try to back them off with the adjuster i get them backed off enough not to over heat but it still feels like they are sticking should i back them off some more. this was never a problem before the accident and i just did all my brakes about 7 months ago, could the accident of damaged the passenger side brakes???

Did someone set the parking brake ?. Could the cable be rusty?
