    You need to get your head straight and call the police and report this, before they come to your door. Reporting an accident is the law - a hit and run is against the law. You own up to your responsibility.

    The police might understand if you go to them first and tell them that you were scared. If they find you and you tell them that you were scared, they will just look at it as an excuse trying to escape punishment. This is pretty serious. You need to go to the police with all the details. Tell them sincerely that you were scared at the time. Things may turn out O.K for you.

    As a retired police officer if you to to them and report the accident, explain you were scared. You will still get a ticket for leaving the scene, but you will not go to jail. If they have to issue a warrant for you, you will go to jail,( you can get bailed out the same day) but it is a lot worst.
    ** at least where we worked. If you show the judge you are willing to do the right thing, he will help you a lot more.

    **** also this is not instant messesges, so please use full words, and explain what you are talking about, this is also not the hood, so "that" is not "dat".
