Check with the surrounding dealers to see if anyone has footage of what happen on their security cameras and if willing to help. That will clear everything up. Good luck.

That sucks big time, thankfully no one was hurt. But from your description, I would say the best you can hope for is 50/50 (if that is an outcome in your area). If this happened here in BC, this is how our monopolized insurance would see it:
1. You were crossing lanes and collided with a car that was completely in the other lane. This is 100% your fault.
2. The other car may have been traveling at an unsafe speed (but without a police report or witnesses to back it up, I doubt it would stick.) They would only pursue this if they thought they could get away with screwing his insurance coverage too.

I would talk with a lawyer - particular in regards to how the police handled your side of the story (e.g. not at all.) Maybe the lawyer can find a reason to discard the police report because of apparent favouritism, no statement from your side, and of course relation to one of the accident victims.

That sucks too - but from your description, the other driver was a jerk road rager type, but you still caused the accident by entering his lane. Unfortunately road rage and entrapment doesn't make it their fault.

Just my .02 - having had to deal with our crappy insurance monopoly on 5-6 separate occasions now, and being a very objective person (even towards myself), I can pretty much tell how they will determine resolution right away.

I would try and get security camera footage from any nearby places, such as the dealership.

Glad to hear everyone is okay though.
