Yes, the state police were great. They searched the area and found the other vehicle.
I would not have done anything if they didn’t flee. It was just a cracked tow hitch cover. Unfortunately I got screwed because the police report goes to some kind of reporting agency and it effected the resale value of my car since it had been in an “accident.” No one’s fault, just bad luck. :(

I moved my car after I got rear ended and the other car fled as well. The state police where much nicer then your police. I’m sorry they gave you a hard time. I always thought you were told to move the cars if everyone was uninjured and if the cars were blocking traffic.
The cops were just jerks, or at least one was.
