Good luck with this Bob and thank goodness you weren't just leaving or about to get into the car when she lost it .!
went through this many years ago , and the at fault driver paid up on the damage and moved on with a pain in wallet.
If this person is employed , had a reasonable income , and the car had some finance attached , she may not want to or be able to just run
away from her actions .
A work colleague of my wife went through a fence and wiped out a new 30K car, and got done for resisting arrest to (idiot ) , but still chose to refinance the loan and pay the damage out over many years .
Which as JJJ mentions is an option for some closure of this in time .
I'd definitely ring her insurer, and bump the call up to a superviser or three to as well to get an idea what they will likely do with a claim .
again
good luck
