Well, there's also my wife, who was in the passenger seat of my car. And there is the crash damage on the cars which clearly shows (from a physics perspective) that her car hit mine. And that the other driver stated, at the scene of the accident, that she had a red light, took a look, and then proceeded (my wife will attest to that). And the common sense of it all: had she actually thought I was in the wrong, why wouldn't she encourage insurance (whether hers or Hertz's) to pin the liability on me, as opposed to evading providing my information to the insurers? **I** had to give my contact info to her insurance and that of Hertz's; she didn't provide them with my contact info. That would be odd for someone who was wronged. Right now, she's on the hook for the damages to the Hertz rental car. If I was the offender, why wouldn't she tell Hertz to come after me?

Because she was clearly wrong.
