The Austin police don't ticket after an accident, I asked them to do it, but they refused.

WTF? So do they ticket before an accident, then?

I would call the Prosecutor's Office and bring it up with them. Based upon the interviews of the victim (your son) the witnesses, and the other driver, it's an obvious failure to yield right of way violation.

Based on the value of this car and the damage done to it, this is quite a serious situation and it will save a lot of hassles in the insurance debate to follow.

I would also go around to all the businesses there immediately and see if they have any surviellance video of that intersection. Given the locality I can bet the accident was caught on someone's outside surveillance camera. If there is a bank at that corner you can bet there's a camera, even an inside camera can catch the street action through the window. But do this fast as sometimes they recycle their tapes and don't save them.
