We were driving outside of Dallas, TX to get home and we were stopped at a stop light, but when the stop light turned green, my cousin drove up a little and then stopped because she wanted to see if this was the right way to go, and then this guy in a big van ( a Direct TV company vehicle ) slammed into us, and the car is totaled in the back.

He was on his cell phone when he slammed into us, but luckily we all had our seat belts on.

My cousin moved her car out of traffic and she called the police but they said that because no one was injured, they won’t be coming down, and that it’s some new thing or whatever. Anyway, my younger cousin and I were taking pictures of the car and my cousin even got pictures of the other guy’s license plate and his vehicle. When we looked at the car, the front license plate was embedded in the back of the car. ( I got a photo of this -_-; )

My cousin got his insurance information and all that, but the number he gave her was a fake one. On top of that, he said we left the scene of the accident when he went back to get her his information. He also said he smelled illegal substances on us.

We were in Dallas to celebrate my uncle’s birthday, so this whole thing drives me crazy.

My cousin gave me the number to the supervisor at Direct TV but my dad told me not to call him and if he wants to talk to someone, then he should talk to my cousin’s insurance company or her lawyer ( I’m not sure if she has the money to get a lawyer, however. –;; )

How should we go about dealing with this?

Thank you for your help!
He shook our hands and told us he hopes “we have a better day than what just happened here.”
**No, none of us smoke or do drugs. We exchanged information and then when nothing else could be done, we parted ways.
