His UAE Team Emirates say he'll be monitored overnight by the team doctor.
The crash happened with 31km left on the stage on a flat, straight segment of road and split the bunch in half with numerous riders left sitting on the side of the road.
Bennett's team-mate and fellow New Zealander Finn Fisher-Black is 16th overall after two of the eight stages.
Swiss rider Stefan Kung leads overall.
