Terrible accident. And doubtful the driver has much insurance. Everyone, please check with you insurance agent and ask if you have "uninsured/underinsured" motorist coverage. And, then ask if it will cover you if you are hit. Some policies have an exclusion for this coverage if the insured (you) are operating a vehicle with less than 4 wheels.
