Should I be completely at fault for the accident?

Yes, In a rear end collission the rear ended is generally considered at fault. Did you report this to your insurer?

Yes, you are totally at fault for the accident.

So many red flags, they drove off, did not give you information

So, in a few weeks, when they claim 20,000 in damages and 100000 in medical bills,?
It happens, but since she drove off and you had to flag her down, most likely not.

More likely, they had no drivers license ( valid one anyway) no insurance and heck maybe even stolen car.

You need to report what happened at least to your insurance company. In case she decides to file a claim against you.
