Technically its classed as an accident if damage was caused to the fence. If both parties exchanged their details there would be no need for Police involvement. A report would not normally be filed if the driver did not stop or their details given were suspected to be false

∙ 13y agoMost states require that an accident report be filed with the police if the accident results in damage exceeding a certain amount (this varies with the state) or any injury. Even if your vehicle wasn't damaged, the utility company owning the pole might have to repair or replace it, and that cost could exceed the damage cost threshold. When in doubt, you are best advised to file a police report. Otherwise, you could be liable for a charge of hit-and-run.
