The answer

If the car owner could have avoided the collision but did not, then liability falls on him. However, if he could not avoid it due to the inquirer’s transgression, then it appears that the inquirer bears the liability. Since the other person cannot be identified, the inquirer must repent and search for the rightful claimant as much as possible, or give charity on their behalf to compensate for the damage they incurred.
