I'm so glad you care about the tortoise!

It really needs medical attention. The biggest danger is probably internal injuries, which you will not be able to see or treat.

I would find a tortoise rescue facility if possible. Failing that, simply find a vet who would be willing to at least examine the animal to determine what would be the best treatment.

Keep it slow and steady.
