"Astronomers at Durham University, UK, led an international team of experts to investigate how Uranus came to be tilted on its side and what consequences a giant impact would have had on the planet's evolution.
The research confirms a previous study which said that Uranus' tilted position was caused by a collision with a massive object -- most likely a young proto-planet made of rock and ice...The simulations also suggested that debris from the impactor could form a thin shell near the edge of the planet's ice layer and trap the heat emanating from Uranus' core. The trapping of this internal heat could in part help explain Uranus' extremely cold temperature of the planet's outer atmosphere (-357 degrees Fahrenheit)."

First, it may be that Uranus was created tilted for a reason that we don't know.
Second, IF it was hit by an asteroid of that magnitude, it would likely have been when some apparently flew through our solar system during the Noah Flood on earth. It is speculated that the earth took a pounding which helped bust apart the continents.
