How scary! Glad you didn't crash and get seriously hurt!
Did the guy even ask if you were ok? He obviously noticed he hit a bike with his car, you'd think he'd want to make darn sure you were ok before he took off.
Well, take care of yourself. Sounds like you did an amazing job of keeping it together.

I don't know all the details of the actual incident, but my own policy is...
It's safer to always assume cars do not see you. Try to approach intersections at a speed where you will be able to stop in time if a car crossing in front of you does not stop for their red light. Expect cars to do the wrong thing and to not see you. As you approach an intersection, check all around and behind you so you will know your escape route options when a car does the wrong thing in the intersection. Rest assured they will do the wrong thing- with regularity!
Glad you were not hurt!!
