Again, thanks for all the good advice. It looks like the other guy's insurance company is going to cover the damages and provide an equivalent rental (hopefully just in time for Springsteen). Basically he admitted he had hit a stopped vehicle in the intersection and hopefully the police report will echo that it is impossible to get across this intersection without stopping then slowly advancing to be able to check for oncoming traffic.
What really gets me is that the police admit this is a known problem with this intersection and yet they do nothing about it. The cop even named several others where similar conditions exist and the sad part of it is, he said, that there has to be X number of bad or fatal accidents before something is done.
Well I gotta go call the underwriter now to find out why, while reading our policy in this unfortunate circumstance, they dropped collision from my 2001 truck and never let me know.
