Moral of the story? If you are in an accident that requires Police involvement, NEVER, EVER move your car until you have filled out the police reports, and the police have signed off on the crash site.

That is if you can get the police to even come to the crash scene. Most of the time they will ask you "Is it driveable/moveable" If you say yes, they tell you to get off the road and come to the station to fill out the report.
Minor accidents never should stay on the road if the car(s) are moveable. Doing so creates further hazards and possibly more accidents (happens quite a bit). I believe you can actually get ticketed for that.
Heck, I saw a 3 car fender bender today on a not so major road with 2 lanes each way. All the occupants were standing their yelling at each other. A cop happened to come across it and immediately told them to get the cars off the road, then he started his report.
