If I signed the pink slip/transfer the ownership of a car to my dad who 2 days later got into a car accident and I still hadn’t done the liability release, is it too late to do it?

If I signed the pink slip/transfer the ownership of a car to my dad who 2 days later got into a car accident and I still hadn’t done the liability release, is it too late to do it?

The pink slip sign date is before the accident I need to report to the DMV within 5 days and I was going to do it but he got into an accident. Would his insurance have issue with this?
