Then I quickly mentioned that she was apprehended, and that threw the rep in for a quick surprise. She ask if I knew why, and I told her I didn't feel it was my business to ask. Basically, I kept a distance once the state troopers arrive and didn't want to say anything stupid while handling my own situation.
I also notified my insurance that I was involved in an accident that was not my fault and was told to call the other party's insurance and deal with them first.
Looking at how close the wheel was to being smashed, can you imagine how much difference if it was 1 or 2 MPH?
Yup... pretty stressed. Just hoping my car is safe in the dealer body shop. I can take it anywhere, but it was already dropped off at the dealer shop.

Don't be too embarrassed about the shaking thing. I still sometimes freak out a bit about my first accident that happened years ago. Even when they are minor, they scare the **** out of you.
Props for remaining calm and not chewing the other driver out, though.
