Hit from behind & they fled

Hi all,

​

I'm after some help with my first ever crash in a decade of driving.

​

Today I was stationary at a set of traffic lights in Brdford when I was struck from behind by a man in another vehicle travelling at approximately 15mph. The entire incident was captured on my dashcam, the impact, a clear view of the other driver, and their licence plate.

​

After the collision, we both agreed to pull over to exchange details. However, as I moved forward, the other driver sped off and fled the scene this is also clearly visible on my dashcam footage.

​

I have reported the incident to the police and am due to attend a police station to hand over my footage and details. Both my vehicle and the other vehicle are insured with Admiral.

​

Admiral have contacted the other driver and the female on the policy is now claiming that their car has not moved and is parked on their driveway, which directly contradicts the evidence on my dashcam.

​

Admiral have asked for the dashcam footage which I've submitted.

​

On to my ask... Does anyone have any experience in a similar situation? What normally happens when someone denies being there despite evidence?

​

Thanks in advance.
