Good to know you're all okay!
I was once picked up by a car when I was sitting on a bike behind my dad, guy "picked us up" at a zebra crossing or what you call them.
Lost one of my milk teeth but the rest was just bruises IIRC.
Then a few years ago I crossed a green traffic light on foot when some of the ground was icy in winter. Suddenly noticed a black truck at the side of my vision that was approaching me, cornering through the intersection. Due to the ice I made two careful but fast steps back, thought I might/would slip and fall if I jumped(and that that was a rather bad situation to be in). Held my arm up in defense and the truck bounced off my arm, or rather my arm and I bounced off the truck.
That made enough noise to make the driver stop, he got out and asked whether I was okay. I said I'm fine and, as is my weird habit, didn't want to bother the police with what seemed like nothing serious, so I shook his arm and went home while he drove off. Of course that wasn't the best idea and I realized that when my arm started to hurt a lot on the way home....
Anyway, it was "just" a seriously squeezed elbow joint and my insurance covered it since I obviously didn't have any info on the driver. People repeatedly told me that was dumb but I was obviously shocked and my first serious accident like that where I was alone (there were other cars but noone seemed to care, not that I cared much about them at the time either).
Well, better than being catapulted a few meters over the pavement anyway.
