Got rear ended yesterday

I was going to get gas and this guy in an old pickup truck was crossing in between the cars on the second lane to get into a parking lot.He was coming from the opposite side. I was on the first lane trying to get into the gas station. The cars on the second lane were backed up at the light, and they let my budy cross over in between so he coult turn in the parcking lot on his left side. He was not looking at the first lane, and he did not see me. I got to see the ftront of his car through the drivers side window, and than the next thing I know is that he parked his car in my rear drivers side fender and my brand new TSW wheel. The door on my coupe got scrached and so did my rear bumper.
He got the ticket and the police found him at fault.
I will try to post some pictures later so u guys can let me know what u think.

Thanks guys. I was wondering if the other driver was found guilty is his insurance going to cover for my repairs ? I have a 1000$ deductible so it would suck if I would have to pay for that. Specially that it was not my foult at all.

Yeah. I think the rim is bent because the car is not very steady on the road.
I am takeing the car to Sunil (Sunman) at Motorwerks on Tuesday. He'll let me know then.
