” I would have tried my best to not say ANYTHING.”
I have carry insurance. The instructions are, say nothing beyond your name and whatever identity questions you are asked by authorities. Call the insurance company and they will provide a lawyer. Only the lawyer should speak. In the literature, there were dozens of examples on what dumb, but common things people had said that got them in legal hot water. The instructions were to parrot, I will be available to speak with you when I have a lawyer present. (Obviously, if someone they can’t see is injured you should tell them that.)
Great advice.
