Good day people
My car developed a problem on the express way gwarimpa to be precise I couldn't move the car do I switched on the hazard light and also placed the triangle few meters away from the car then crossed over to seek for assistance the nest thing I saw was another driver just rammed into the vehicle from behind causing extensive damage to both cars. The frsc officials came and took pics and videos and now assisted to tow both vehicles out of the way to the service lane. Now the guy that hit my car is claiming he doesn't have money at all to fix my car that the car he is driving isn't his but he is doing uber with it he also claimed he called the owner of the car and he isn't willing to assist.
My issue is how do I force this guy to fix my car. To fix that car would cost at least 150k. Also ism trying my best not to involve the police because involving the police might slow the process and involve additional cost

That's your insurance company's headache and not yours.

You should have still involved the police immediately. 150k might be difficult for the guy to cough out, but at least he should bring a substantial percentage for the repairs, police would have towed his vehicle to the station, keep it there, pending the time the case is settled, and yes, police will still demand for their cut.

First and foremost, your car stalling in the middle of that highway and while it was still rolling without engine input, but you decided to stop right on the highway meant you put yourself and other road users in grave danger. I'm sure you were on the speed lane when this happened hence giving you little or no room to roll over to the shoulder.
You could had caused multiple accidents and fatalities due to the rate of at which people speed on that highway. While I don't pray your or anyone else car stalls on that highway, next time, pls stopping on the highway and even coming out to cross a highway that's very busy with cars running at breakneck speeds is suicidal. Safety first safety always!


As for the damages and blame game, I'd say, contact your insurance team also try to call the owner of the other car to invite his insurance team to assist.
