Default Did I cause my brake system problem?

My 08 Escape Hybrid currently has ABS & BRAKE dash lights on along with "Check Brake System" msg. ForScan indicates four ABS codes (U2023-A0, C1478-A0, C1313-A0, C1480-E0), which, oddly, point to both right and left front wheels. Also seeing PCM codes P1A0C-FF (hybrid PCM - engine disabled) and U0418-FF.

This problem occurred immediately after carelessly tossing multiple heavy bags of cat litter into the rear cargo area. Any chance I messed up a connection to/from the high-voltage battery or something like that? If you think it's just a coincidence then I'll proceed with the usual suggestions posted elsewhere for resolving ABS problems (tone rings, grounds). Thanks.

Mechanic diagnosed as collapsed front brake lines. Replaced brake lines and reset ABS module. We'll see if the warning light stays off....
