It depends, whether it is a major accident or if it's just minor. Also, it depends on if there's someone nearby. Generally, if there's a major accident to be seen and no one is around, then it's always safe the call the police immediately and to provide assistance if needed.
If you spot a minor accident, yet you're not involved in it, then there's not need to inform the police or any other emergency services.
If you have been involved in a minor accident, even if no one has been injured, you are required to inform the police via emergency number. In this case, it is because a police report is required in order to help the insurance to determine where the problem started and/or whose fault it was.

How can you find someone's auto insurance policy?
You can't unless they tell you who they are insured with. Who a person is insured with or even if they have insurance is a private matter between the insured and the insurance company. Now, if there is an accident and the police come to the scene they will collect that information and put it in the accident report. This is why it is crucial to always call the police to the scene of the accident no matter how much the other person begs to give them a break. Always, always!!! call the police to the scene of an accident. The exception is if the accident is on private property.
