Telekinesis and Moving Vehicles Question

A question to the wise sages of this forum

Situation: A PC is trying to help an injured NPC on the street and suddenly a car bears down on him / her. The car accelerates from 20mph to 30mph before it is about to strike.

The Character has Telekinesis 31 (BL lift 192.2 lbs). EHvy (1922 lbs) Shove (2306lbs)
The Car is moving at 15 (30mph), assume a sedan at 2300 lbs wt. (Toyota Camry - curb wt.) ST/HP 50.

Using the Collision rules I calculate that the car will do 8d if it hits. (not doubled for a hard surface).

Assuming the TK character wants to stop or slow the car to prevent the damage to both the PC and the NPC. (assume the PC can't move because protecting the NPC and that he cannot move the NPC)

Can the PC stop the car?

Can the PC only deflect it?

Since the damage calculations are based on speed and ST/HT of the Vehicle, how much damaged gets blocked?
