It's page 20, not 18. At least in my Official Florida Driver's Handbook ; The police officer takes care of the report, if no report is done by the officer than you must make a written report yourself of the crash within 10 days. The officer will provide you with a copy of the form for your records.
Check with your state dept of motor vehicles (or whatever it's called in your state). Most states require reporting of accidents involving more than XXX dollars in property damage, and it's mandatory to report any accidents involving bodily injury or death.
If property damage from a car crash exceeds $500 and no police officer generates a report, you are required to submit a written report to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. This report must be completed within 10 days of the incident. Ensure that all relevant details, including the parties involved, circumstances of the crash, and damage estimates, are included in your report. Failure to do so may result in penalties or complications with insurance claims.

The FBI would also normally investigate federal civil rights cases.
With politeness and respect.
