You'd most likely file that with your auto insurance, as that's the property that was damaged. Hoever, you might find there's a clause that says they won't cover acts of god, which, in the eyes of the insurance world, this was.
So you don't have vehicle or engine failure that causes a serious collision with injury or death.

In the first 10th of a second during a collision, the vehicle experiences a rapid deceleration, while everything inside, including passengers and unsecured objects, continues to move at the vehicle's pre-collision speed. This difference in motion creates a significant risk for injury, as inertia causes these items to collide with the interior of the vehicle. Proper safety measures, like seatbelts and airbags, are crucial to mitigate these forces and protect occupants during such events.
In a collision, occupants tend to move towards the point of impact due to inertia. The impact causes the vehicle to abruptly decelerate, while inertia causes occupants to continue moving forward until another force like a seatbelt or airbag stops their motion.
Collision and Compressional forces.
If a driver runs a red light and causes a collision, the driver who ran the red light is typically at fault for the accident.
At fault driver
It should. If the "at fault" vehicle is insured, it's supposed to cover the victim's vehicle 100%. If the "at fault" vehicle has comprehensive and collision insurance that insurance is supposed to cover the at fault vehicle up to the deductable amount. Note that the drunk driver will loose his insurance and be required to get the VERY expensive DUI "insurance endorsment" since he/she is now in the highest risk bracket. BTW, when a drunk driver causes a collision it's not called an "accident". Accident is when things just happen. Driving drunk is the CAUSE of the collision and as such the collision is not called an accident. Call it a wreck, crash or just about anything else that takes away the implication of a random act.
The vehicle occupying the lane of travel has right-of-way in that lane. A vehicle entering that lane is supposed to yield to you. If they fail to do this, and it causes a collision, then they're at fault for it.
Collision coverage pays for the repair or replacement of sheet metal and certain other damage sustained to a motor vehicle as a result of an impact with another object. The scope of the collision coverage is set forth in the insurance policy, and is generally distinguished from the comprehensive coverage that covers other causes of loss. Neither collision nor comprehensive coverage indemnifies for bodily injuries or medical expenses.
The kinetic energy of a moving vehicle is what causes damage or destruction upon impact in a collision. When a vehicle collides with another object, the kinetic energy is transferred, leading to deformation and destruction of the vehicle and potential injuries or fatalities to occupants due to the sudden deceleration forces involved. The severity of the damage and injuries depends on factors such as the speed of the vehicles, the mass of the objects involved, and the design of the vehicle's safety features.
