Tire Pressure Icon Flashing?

I was driving back to Austin at night and there was something on the road (rolled up blown tire?) which I accidentally hit on the freeway. At first, everything seemed ok, but after 5-10mins, my low tire pressure icon started flashing for about 3 secs and I immediately pulled over. As soon as I hit the hazard button, the icon stopped flashing, but I still checked my tires anyways. After driving another 50 mins I think my tires are ok because the icon never came back on, but to be on the safe side, has this happened to anyone before and what does it mean?

the impact of hitting the road debris might have moved the TPMS around in the tire and made it go a little crazy

Check your tire pressure a few times the next couple of days

if you are really concerned, take your car to a tire shop
