"...little hope of tracing him".

Surely, as a decent member of society, mortified and tormented by the
horrific injuries he has inflicted on that poor woman and in contrition for
his misdeeds, he'll probably hand himself in?

Then as well as taking whatever minor admonishment the law prescribes in even
such terrible cicumstances as those described, he will also wish to
compensate his victim financially? After all, he will also undoubtedly be
Considerably Richer Than she is.

All he had tp do was to report it to his insurance company & let them
deal with the incident.

I guess you mean his house contents insurance company?

Either that or the insurance that he has got by being a member of a
cycling club, or perhaps as a responsible road user he has taken out
his own insurance.
