Your wallet is important, they go through that pretty fast!  Just remember cell phones are often lost when in accident, where is wallet is easier to find in purse.  
My hubby is a police officer and does accident investigations,
I asked him about it, he said if there is a accident, belongs are everywhere and cell phones usually are in a ditch or what not. Where as to a purse, it's bigger and easier to find.  
Wallets are usually on the man's person, back wallet.
The hospital will contact emergency staff and request they find more info.
He feels wallet is pretty important as they start looking for identification first.  
NOT saying the ICE is not a good option as well, but make sure you place info in that wallet as well!!!!  
I have id necklace and bracelet.  I got a sport bracelet....great for those with allergies!  It's made of fabric and clips on!
