My suspicion is that the driver fully intended to just keep his mouth shut until he saw the damage and knew that it'd be pinned on him.
The real pity for him is that he probably would have been in no legal trouble had he only stopped right then. And assuming that he did not hit the guy deliberately when he had the ability to stop, then no legal issues would be correct. The salmon was begging for it.
