People do make a song and dance when a minor collision takes place these days.
I know that for most people, the car is their pride and joy, but if the vehicles are drivable, the first thing you should do is move them so as not to cause an obstruction. Not leave them blocking the road while you exchange details, and argue the toss as to who is to blame.

Of course I don't know the circumstances, but it seems nobody was badly hurt.
