They basically need to know who was in what position and who did what which it's explained.

No need. Ideally you want to make it look as if it's a straightforward rear-end shunt at a roundabout which is the most common type of "accident" IIRC.
If you argue that's what happened, you've more chance of a succesful claim.
Make sure you draw a good diagram (better than the one above please
) - it'll help enormously.
On another note, your legal expenses people are linked to a credit hure company. They will arrange a hire car for you on the basis that the cost of the hire car will be recovered from Mrs xxx insurer. Do not agree to this until you are sure that they will pay the claim. I'm guessing your car is still driveable so it shouldn't be a problem, but do not accept any repairs or car hire until fault is established and agreed with her insurers.
I know it's annoying driving around in a bashed car but patience is important here.

I can hear her from here
"this bloke just stopped on a main road - it was his fault!"
it's the same sef-justification trotted out when people rear end others at roundabouts:
"why didn't s/he go? there was plenty of room"

The short factual one is fine for the claim etc. might want to add that you were in the ahead only lane and could only have been going in that direction.
It's good to have and keep the full details for your own use. If you ever get to a more formal situation, you can use these personal notes. If anyone asks you about the exact detail on the day, you have all the details to hand. If they then ask why you are so certain you, say you wrote a full account x hours after the incident.
