There are multiple ways to answer this question - depending on location of accident due to multiple state/country laws that are not UNIVERSAL. But the basic answer is YES you are breaking the law if you don't (minimally) stop and at least exchange information and/or contact local authorities to get details on accident.
Answer
Yes, it is a hit and run or fleeing the scene of an accident. Both can get you arrested.

What are the consequences of not stopping if your involved in a car accident?
In every state there is a legal requirement to stop if you are involved in a collision even if the collision is not your fault. Leaving the scene is the " hit and run" crime. The charge is likely more serious if a injury or death is involved. My advice would be to contact police and get it straightened out before it becomes worse
What will leaving the scene of a collision result in?
A criminal charge/conviction for failing to stop or hit and run. In the UK if there is no injury associated with the collision, the parties involved should stop and exchange names/ insurance details. If there is injury then again you are required to stop and exchange details and also call the police or inform them regarding the accident withinf 24 hours.
If you are involved in a collision and do not stop what are the consequences?
That depends which country you're in. Each country has their own penalties for failure to stop after an accident.

What happens when you get into a car accident and the traffic signal lights werent working?
If you can prove that the lights were not working at the time of the collision, the "owner" may also have some liability IF it contributed to the cause of the collision. In CA when the lights are not working it becomes a "stop sign" and drivers are required to stop until safe to cross. by way of example if the driver did not stop and was involved involved in a crash as a result... there may not be much liability on the signal "owner" This is where hiring a collision reconstructionist such as myself may be helpful to review your case and help you determine your options
If you are involved in a crash you are breaking the law if you do not stop.?
Absolutely ! Whether anyone is injured or not - you have a legal obligation to give the other party your insurance details.

Do you have to stop at a scene of an accident?
IF you are involved in it yes. If people need help and there is no one else to give it , yes. Otherwise no all you would be doing is blocking up the path of the people who need access to the scene of the accident.
