Just because a guy likes another guy, I don't see how that makes them all of a sudden develop a speech impediment... So do they do it on purpose? If so, why?

So...Yesterday I got into a wreck. One of those "following too closely" things & now my car is all smashed up in the front. I definitely need a new radiator, it's all cracked & bent up and immediately leaked all the antifreeze out. But my question is, what else do I need? My car isn't even cranking anymore! Here's what happened:

After the wreck, I left the car on because I was worried that it might not restart if I turn it off. It sat & idled for awhile while the cop was doing his paperwork. It seemed fine, but once all the antifreeze was done leaking out, that's when it started getting hot. He said maybe I should turn it off, so I did. Then I immediately tried cranking it again just to see what would happen, & it wouldn't crank. About 30 min passed by & then it was time to leave the scene. My car cranked again! He said it just needed to cool down. I asked him to send a tow truck, but he said I would need $200 upfront, which I didn't have. He acted like it would be fine to drive, as long as I stop every once in a while & allow it to cool down.

Well, he was wrong. I only made it down the street a couple of miles. It kept getting hotter & hotter & hotter until it just randomly shut off right in the middle of the road. I tried adding water to it, won't crank. I tried waiting awhile for it to cool down, won't crank. Now, my car has sat overnight with plenty of time to cool down, & it still won't crank! What is wrong?? I thought that if it was the radiator & the radiator alone, that it would still crank, but keep overheating? Then I thought maybe a head gasket, but I was told that it would still crank too, just leak oil. So I'm confused because WHY WON'T IT CRANK!

Also, around what age is the new one (typically)?
