    Leaving the scene of an accident, especially where there is damage to property, is a criminal offense. Usually punishable by a fine, but if someone was injured it could be worse.

    Hello kelvin:

    You could get a ticket, and/or worse - much worse, but I don't know if you killed anybody or not.

    Or they might not find you and you get away with it. Who knows?

    If there was NO property damage, if there were NO injuries I doubt the Police will look for you - you could, of course, be ticketed for leaving the scene of an accident but I don't see that happening.

    Your collision insurance, of course, won't pay for your damage.
