A driver shifted to my lane abruptly and cut me off. I avoided the collision and lost control of my vehicle and was hit from the back by another vehicle. The car who was driving behind the vehicle that cut me witnessed everything and gave a statement to the police. The witness said the driver was on her cell phone when she cut me off. The driver looked on her rear mirror and went from passing lane (extreme left lane) to the nearest exit which is roughly less than 800 meters away from the scene of the accident. The witnessed followed the driver and list the license plate number, car model and colour and even the description of the driver. My question is, since there was no collision between myself and the driver who caused me to loose control, can this situation still be considered as "Failure to Report Collision and Stay at Scene of Accident? Is there any liability for the person who caused my accident? I was involved in an accident. A driver shifted to my lane abruptly and cut me off.
