Side swiped car while it’s parking

I feel like an absolute idiot. Today I was coming home from college classes, I was on Jericho turnpike, Long Island NY. There’s was on going traffic. Green light was on- As I’m driving a car a head of me is trying to back into a parking spot- with on coming traffic… I figured she should’ve waited- But I got impatient and tried to get around her- I side swiped my passenger side mirror against her card- my mirror inverted in. She honked so loud and long- I took off 😔 I made my right turn- I slowed down figuring she would chase after me… I’m not sure if there was significant damage to her car- I assume she has a camera that caught me in the act. I feel like an idiot… I should’ve waited my turn to pass her after she finished parking. I don’t know what I was thinking???? All to catch a green light??? I guess I’m wondering??? If she does have video evidence- How much trouble will I be in??? My car isn’t scratched. But I know she maybe able to lie to insurance. Any advice? And YES I KNOW ITS MY FAULT.
