Wow, that sucks, but I'm glad you're OK. Sorry to hear about your car - at least you have a bike to ride while it's getting fixed. He had insurance, I hope?
I'm not sure what you're asking about what the cop said. If you're questioning whether the other driver would have been liable for damage to the bikes (if they had been damaged), then the answer is undoubtedly yes, but you likely would have had to fight with his insurance company to get the claim paid.
