. I hit a parked SAAB when I was about 15 years old and cycled off because I thought the driver would 'beat me up' .
About the same age I hit a Vauxhall Chevette, snapping my down tube, wrecking the back door of the car and beating myself up a bit. The owner nearly fainted when a bloodstained adolescent knocked on their door and asked "is that your car outside".

When I was 14 I rode into the back of a car and ended up on the bonnet with a smashed face and broken tooth. Owner came out and started to get violent with me. Binmen in wagon stopped over the road, pulled the guy off and sent him inside the house. Put me and bike in wagon and drove me home. Never heard anymore from owner. Was1960s though. Mind you my mum was a bit scary about it all.

This started mid August.

Is there an Update?

Yes. Two posts above yours.
 
That cyclist seemed as hell bent as the 9/11 pilots judging by that video. There was absolutely no attempt to avoid a collision. Cant help but wonder what was on that cyclists mind just before he crashed.

The car was surely an insurance write off. I thought if the damage repair cost 50% or more of the value of the car, then it was a write off. Those windows cost about £30 at Autoglass.
