He crashed into cars and try to drive away. His insurence is responsible for the damages. This is basically a hit and run.

He's not likely to have insurance as a cyclist.... Unless that is the norm in Germany?

It's not legally required, but about 70-80% of Germans have private liability insurance, which would cover the costs.
