sorry to hear about that. but i think you are a lucky one just like me. what matters is that you are ok. did you have witnesses, police report, or able to take pictures? im not sure how accidents are dealt with over there.
years ago my car got hit by a big chunk of rubber from a truck at 80mph! good thing it hit the front section of the car, smashing the front section. all i thought of was that i am safe, my family is not riding with me, and that the thing didnt hit the windshield instead.
hopefully the other party will cooperate with you.
