I doubt it. The police might want to question a passenger as a witness to the accident. Also, the passenger might need medical attention, so it's best to stay at the scene of an accident.
only if you receive a court summons saying that you need to appear in court to testify.
Did you witness the accident?
The only way a police office can write a report of an accident he did not witness is to take statements from people that did witness the accident. He can also look at the accident and determine how it most likely occurred.
Yes, I was witness to the accident.
Officers do not need to see the actual crime in order to make a charge. Just as officers rarely witness the murder cases in which they make arrests, they need not witness traffic offenses if there is sufficient other evidence to support the charge. In the case where a passenger in a vehicle pulled the brake and caused and accident, a charge of careless driving is probably warranted, because the passenger's testimony that he/she operated the brake suggests that the driver was operating the vehicle in such a manner to allow the passenger to have partial control over the vehicle.
If you are involved in the accident it is a crime to leave the scene, but if you are a witness or bystander there is no problem.

As a witness to a bad car accident, a person should stay on the scene until they have told their version of the story to the police. Most often a police officer will want contact information for the witness in case more information is needed.
