Phone the station and tell them you lied.

Well, you did what he told you to do.

I'm not sure which of you is the most foolish but I suggest you BOTH go and explain exactly what hapoened.

honesty could be the best policy as you dont want him to face charges for something he didnt do.
be aware that you could be prosecuted for allowing an unlicensed and uninsured driver to use your car. Your insurance will be null and void, you will have to pay for the damage to lampost and your car.
Plus you could be charged with perverting the course of justice like these two
