Steve, I'm very glad to hear you're in one piece. I'll take your advice -- Lately I've hung a camera around my neck occasionally while driving, and I think it's just going to go in the glove box.
Suggestion re: a far less important matter that may be a pain down the line -- Keep a copy of the police report, and be sure to check up on how the insurance database that insurers rely upon (I'm sorry, I don't remember its name) has recorded the matter of fault in the accident. I had a very unlucky time a while ago in which four people drove into me in twelve months. No injuries, just slow-speed city crunches, though one car was totaled (in slow-motion) by a truck. Insurance company recorded all as 0% my fault and my rates were untouched, but when renewal time came, they ignored their own records and relied on the outside database -- which had recorded all four incidents as 100% my fault! I'm not even sure there's a mandated method to challenge this misinformation, as there is for credit reports, but I'd hope your insurance company would be of help if this sort of mix-up occurs.
More importantly, best wishes for a speedy recovery!
-- Michael
