Thanks to all the well wishers who emailed me!

Here’s a quick update: Wife and I went to the Port Authority today to look at my bike. The bike is in surprisingly excellent condition. I grabbed a few personal items from the bike but I will have to go back to have it towed. It seems as if the crash bars took most of the damage.

I spoke with the lieutenant on duty, he was very nice and gave me a copy of the accident report. In the accident report was the witnesses’ phone number (which is excellent news). As I suspected the reporting police officer only took down a partial plate number (NNY). I told him that I thought I overheard the witness saying NNY30B, he ran that plate but it came back to a Buick which is obviously not the vehicle. Also the police report incorrectly stated that the vehicle was a Ford. I told the lieutenant that the vehicle was definitely a black Jeep either Cherokee or Laredo. Unfortunately I was told that there are no tapes to pull from the tunnel as the only star recording when something is happening. Additionally I was told that they can only run a search on plate number and not by color of vehicle or make and model which seems very limiting to me. I’m still going to pursue an online search to see if I can get more information.
