Finally

I finally got hold of the officer at the scene who gave me some interesting info. The other driver told him he wasn't paying attention and when he saw me stopped he didn't have time to apply brakes. I suspect he was going close to the speed limit since someone who saw it said he was doing 40 or so. I thought it was the officer be he couldn't confirm that.

He told me something else interesting. When he and the tow truck driver tried to move it up on the truck, it wouldn't try to start and he was surprised to see a warning on the dash "airbags deployed" or words to that effect. He said he couldn't understand that since it would be obvious visually if that were so. He thought a faulty air bag electrical circuit could have caused the smoke.

The guy's insurance company is the agent that has my house insurance. Gonna talk to them Monday.
