While it is always a crime to leave the scene of an accident it is understandable that sometimes people panic. I might consult an attorney to intervene on your behalf with the necessary steps: go with you to file a police report; contact your insurance company; contact the owner of the other vehicle. That buffer may be well worth the money.
