Well, the driver who hit the other vehicle would still be liable, but it would be a matter for insurance to pursue, not the police, since the 2nd driver left the scene. Certainly, leaving the scene creates a window of doubt with regard to the damage, but it's not really enough to get the at-fault driver off the hook.

Does uninsured motorist coverage cover an uninsured driver of the car in a single car accident?
No. Uninsured motorist coverage protects the owner of the vehicle which is damaged due to the actions of an uninsured driver of another vehicle (or damage caused by a hit-and-run driver). I think what you are asking is known as a 'permissive' driver - someone who was driving another person's vehicle with the owner's permission, but who is not actually named on the policy. The answer to this is 'probably' depending on the insurance company and the provisions of the policy itself, but if provided for would cover them like they were a named insured on the policy.

If you have liability insurance on one vehicle are you insured if you drive another vehicle?
Auto insurance typically covers the car, not the driver. So, if you have insurance on your vehicle, but you drive another vehicle that doesn't have insurance, you are not protected by your policy if you have an accident in that other vehicle. However, if you have insurance on your vehicle, and you lend it to a driver (from another household) who does not have his or her own insurance, they will be covered by your policy while they are driving your car.

Yes. Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle, minus the deductible, regardless of who is driving it.

Insurance always applies to the car not the driver.

If an uninsured driver in Massachusetts hits a car in front of him and that car hits other cars in front of him is the uninsured driver responsible for the damage of all the cars in the accident?
An exact answer for this question is not possible without a lot more information, but I will try to give a partial answer in order to get this answer started. The actual and final answer will depend on Massachusetts LAW, AND investigative revelation of the true circumstances of the incident. Many years ago I was an auto insurance adjuster in Washington state, and have lived in Texas over 50 years. Based on my experiences, and related knowledge, the answer depends on who hit who when, and in what order. I will present some different situations which would result in different drivers being libel for damages to others. 1.)IF vehicle "A," which was "rear-ended" by the uninsured vehicle ["B"], was "knocked into" the vehicle ["C"] in front of "A," THEN vehicle "A" SHOULD NOT be libel for damage to vehicle "C." The driver of vehicle "B" SHOULD be found at fault for damage to both vehicles "A" and "C". 2.) However, IF vehicle "A" rear-ended vehicle "C," before being rear-ended by vehicle "B," THEN vehicle "A's" driver is responsible for damage to vehicle "C." 3.)However, assigning responsibility for damage really gets tough IF the investigation reveals that AFTER vehicle "A" rear-ended vehicle "C," vehicle "B" then rear-ended the vehicle "A"/vehicle "B" "stack." Theoretically, vehicle "A's" driver is only responsible to vehicle "C" for damage which vehicle "A" caused. And the driver of vehicle "B" SHOULD BE responsible for the damage caused to vehicle "A," and THE PORTION of additional damage to vehicle "C" which was actually caused by vehicle "B" "piling into" vehicles "B" AND "C." Whew!!!!! If this confuses you, don't feel like you are alone. That's why we have armies of investigators, insurance companies, attorneys, juries, and judges. Although I couldn't give you a more definitive answer, I hope this provides some understanding of the scale of the problem, and it's resolution.
