After waiting in vain for someone else to have a go at your question (I'm not the test author, after all), I'll give you my take on it, for what it's worth.
Like you, I would also insert the pronoun 'he' at the beginning of the last clause. |

I'm not either, so I didn't.

When I read out this sentence I feel a brief natural pause after "accident"--so I would put a comma there if I wrote this sentence.
...but, I may be altogether wrong... :shock:

As it turns out, your doubts are justified, Tom, since the comma would go after 'happened' -- and that's probably what you meant. |

Mea culpa, Conchita!!!
Yes, I meant "happened".
