     Glad to know you are ok.  A bit shaken up but able to move on your own.   
     I've been involved in a few accidents over the years, never my fault.   
     When I was in produce, 15 years of driving, I was hit three times I can   
   recall.   
     Two were while I was stopped at a light.  Hit on the left side by a woman   
   in a VW who wanted to make a left turn but I was in her way.  She "didn't   
   see me".   
      Another time a couple of women with several dogs loose in the car who   
   rear ended me, again at a light, and pushed me into the car ahead of me, and   
   that one into the one in front of it.   
      There were a couple more but don't recall off hand.   
      Never hurt and the company van didn't need repair.  (Some damage but the   
   boss pocketed the insurance money).   
      There was a time or two there were near misses with squealing of tyres   
   and quick reactions.

      I recall seeing the aftermath of a car pulling a Airstream trailer that   
   made a too tight exit off the freeway, the trailer tipped and rolled along   
   the freeway a distance, till it had completely disintegrated, with the items   
   scattered all over the place.

     When I was on my big trip in '19, my phone was on the passenger seat or   
   the console, close at hand if I wanted a snap of something.   
     Usually by the time I stopped, got the camera working and all whatever it   
   was that got my attention was done and/or gone.   
     It was on the seat so if it rang I could glance if important or not.
