How to describe a car crash?
Can someone PLEASE HELP me word the following.
I was on a side ride waiting to turn right on to a main road. Right side of main road was clear for me to drive on to main road. I could see a car at top of the hill and i was at the bottom of the hill. I was waiting in the middle of the road for the left side of main road to clear. I looked right and the car that was at the top of the hill was speeding down into me. What I saw was the headlight and I noticed the driver trying to break as the car jerked but it then look as if breaks didnt work and she crashed straight in to the middle of my car. My car was stationary and with the impact it moved to the side. I was driving and I had a 2 year old and a 7 month old baby in the back. I thought that was it we are dead the speed the lady was going at was a minimum of 45-50 mph on a 30 mph road. As she hit my driver door i was convinced my legs hips would be gone but luckily when i looked down there was nothing wrong the side air bag had gone off. My first reaction was thank god I can get up and check on my children. Thank god they were good too. I tried to open my door but was unable to so had to climb through the gap and unbuckle my 7 month old boy to settle him and my daughter was so good really calm just sitting in her chair. I could'nt get out so I sat there in total shock. I called my husband and he was on his way. I couldn't see outside due to windows being steamed up and being dark. Eventually someone came I was relieved for a few seconds until I they started shouting at me "WHY DID U PULL OUT" X 5 that's when I realised it was the lady who crashed into me. I was shocked that her first response was her insurance and she was desperate to ensure she could get out of the blame. I said to her "you can see I am trapped and my kids are here and I need to make sure they were okay". I told her my husband is coming and he will give her the details. Eventually someone came to help me to check my kids and i was ok and to help me out of the car. They managed to open the doors and take my children out and helped to move my car to the side of the road. The lady came back again demanding I give her the details I tried to explain that I was in shock and kids come first and that my husband would be here any minute and he would give her the details but she refused to wait for him and kept on demanding I give her the details now. So i gave her my name, reg and mob number. My husband came made sure we were okay and he went to check on the other driver as he got near her he heard her asking a passer by if he would be her witness and his response was "of course i will i don't like those Asains". My husband asked him what did you say to this the guy replied "oh nothing".. My husband checked her car out and she already had 3 damages to her car from previous accidents, these 3 damages were to her back bumper, the passenger side and to the left front bumper. She crashed into me with her right front bumper. I had no previous damage to my car and the damage she caused is to my driver door its caved in and she has gone straight trough the metal, due to this the back passenger door has moved out of place.
To summarize i was not at fault i was stationary in the middle of road at the bottom of the hill and she was at the top and she saw me but failed to slow down as she speeding and not concentrating. When she saw me she tried to break but her breaks failed and she crashed into me
As you can see i have gone into details but it doesn't flow and is very long winded. Please please help with rewording this.

I assume this is for a police report. You need to be very factual, telling exactly what happened without all the melodrama. I was stopped at an intersection on a side street.
