I had this recently. Early evening. Broad daylight. 5 guys in their 30's/40's.
I just stopped the car and hoped the twats brakes were working - else it wouldn't have been me in A&E.
That and they managed to steer round me without removing my wing mirrors.

Possibly better than having a bike surgically removed from the bonnet I guess!

First, of all I hope your daughter is ok and not too badly shaken up.
People like this seraiously piss me off.
I cycle to work each day, mostly along a canal towpath, however unlike a lot of the selfish, ignorant cyclists, I do slow down for all other path users and stop and wait where the path is too narrow to pass safely.
These people whose unbelievable disregard for other road / path users existance endanger those users. In addition they are creating an antagonistice responce against all cyclists which will enevitably make the situation even worse.
The trouble is that we are now facing a feedback situation, where the action of one party eggs on retalitory action of the other, which in turn eggs on the the other, etc. and in the middle progressively more people (inocent or otherwise) get sucked into this unnecessary and pathetic behaviour.
I wish I knew what the answer was, but somehow this has to stop.

Cyclists don't bother me - unless they're hurtling towards the bonnet of my car.
But then neither pedestrians, motorcyclists or other drivers bother me either - unless they're being twats too!
Twats come with two or four wheels, or just two legs!
