In the official statement of the father of the victim, they had this to say:

"My son got in an accident. cops showed up, told them wait and watch. 30 seconds later, other driver was charged. previously, my other dashcam, the SD card failed when I got in an accident. Had to record the conversation on my cell phone, and that recording is the ONLY way my insurance got me off. Always get high endurance SD cards, and test periodically and replace.

Dash cams are much cheaper than deductible and higher insurance rates."
