This will get you the name and address of the registered keeper, who may or may not have anything to do with the driver.

Check on the Motor Insurers Database to see if the other vehicle was insured.

I know your pain from personal experience, the outcome is unlikely to go in your favour without a witness.
Get yourself a Blackvue camera system or something similar, may help in a similar situation.

Try to find out the lorry owner and the driver, he might be able to help you with evidence. The police can find out who her insurer is and report the accident to them if she has not done so.

It is important that you put yourself in the correct legal position with respect to informing the police.

Thought it was only an actual requirement if someone's been hurt
