Yesterday

a cop is called to an accident scene. Never admit to anything that can be held against you. I would definitely talk to a lawyer.

I have a neighbor who was hit by a u-haul truck. It was all my neighbors fault. The cop asked the u-haul truck driver how fast he was going? The driver said 55. Big mistake, the speed limit changed from 55 to 45 just before the accident. The truck driver was ticketed, and now is being sued for injuries.

Good luck
