While I get the point made in the article, I'd prefer being told "I hit a bull with my car. I'm ok, but the car is damaged" first, rather than having fed bits and pieces of info slowly, or worse, having to fish it out. It's understandable for people to not be calm in this situation and struggle to explain things clearly, but it sounds like that wasn't the case here. So if you are calm, do the other person a favor and give a 10-15 second explanation of what happened instead of leaving them guessing.
