The girl jumped out of her car and apologized. She said she was lighting a cigarette and wasn't paying attention.
She also told this to the police officer. So, her insurance settled for $1100. Drove that Civic for another 6 months before upgrading.

Back when I was in my twenties, I was sitting at a stop light and the same thing happened. I had a great 1979 Toyota Celica Hatchback (loved that car), and it was really solid so there was no damage. But I remember getting out of the car and the woman who hit me got out of her car, and she angrily yelled, "You scared me to death!" I had been completely and peacefully stopped when she hit me.
