As far as I am aware, a police report is not admissible in evidence in court (so the other person can't try to use it against you). The officer who wrote the report can testify as a witness to what he or she actually observed at the scene... and apparently the officer's supervisor would be able to offer some testimony as well. The bottom line, though, is a police report is nothing more or less than the officer's "opinion" of what happened and is not the end-all, be-all of anything.
Sending a letter to the other party and her dad is a good idea because it's additional documentation that you can use to your advantage later if you have to sue. I would suggest that you keep a copy of the letter for your own records, and send both letters (to the other driver and her dad) via certified mail with return receipt requested as proof of delivery.
Good luck!
