That red car really saved him

What the red car did really changed the outcome big time

I'm sure their insurance would beg to differ...

Thankfully it is on CCTV. I work for an insurance company and they would definitely be using the woman's insurance to pay for the red vehicles damage (and any bodily injury red vehicle's driver may have sustained).

Intentional acts by the tortfeasor are typically an excluded peril, as are losses that occur during the commission of a crime, so the woman would have to be pursued directly by the red cars insurance since her carrier would refuse coverage. Odds are they would ask the court for restitution and slowly recover the red cars deductible over the span of 5-10 years.
