Well, I imagine it depends what you hit:
sign with companies' name...quite easy
blown tyre..not so much!

What was it that made it impossible to drive around it or stop before hitting it? scratchchin

ETA. Second thoughts; I suppose if it's airborn/flying at you it's pretty difficult to avoid.

Ring Highways England and ask if they can help/was said panel recovered/anybody else affected who gave them some info which will help you?

I've spoken to the HA and nothing has been reported yet, I'll try them again later, the chap didn't sound hopeful on the phone

No chance. Even if you can find the owner you would have to prove negligence.
