Take it easy guys. Why would anybody lie about that? The only reason I think makes sense (credit to DannyGT) is if he was the guy who did the hit and run - to gain perspective on what chances the other guy has of catching him... But if that was the case then how would he end up with a smashed rear-end? He said he'll post pics. It should be easy to tell if he was rear-ended, right? I guess he could have damage to rear from something else, but insurance would definitely be able to tell the difference, so that's kind of a moot point.
And why would he not just say he called the police from the scene if he was pretending to be the other guy? I mean that's what most people would do.
As far as posting on the internet to cover your ***, I seriously doubt an insurance company cares about that. I can just see them saying "well, he posted in an online forum that it was a hit and run so it must be true." lol.
I think it was just a stupid mistake. A lot of people don't think straight during and immediately after serious accidents. You would think he could basic identifying features, but again, if you are rear-ended in the rain, at night, not expecting it at all, and it happens with such force and speed that you spin out and hit the median and a couple trees, it is plausible that he he didn't catch anything.
I don't know why in the hell he would drive off without contacting the police, it does seem retarded, but maybe he was DUI or had drugs in the car and just didn't want to admit that part.
