I am lucky that I took pictures with my smartphone, but having the footage of the collision would have been a help as well. I am going to buy another dash cam, but this time, it won't be a cheap one off the Chinese slowboat.
what model did you buy? Some are picky about the memory card. Yours could be, or the memory card itself died.
My G1W is still going fine.
