Go directly to the police station and file a hit and run report. Take all your evidence with you, including pictures of the damage to your car. Do this ASAP.

Call the police and report her as a hit and run.
Better yet, call your insurance company and have them pursue her as a hit and run driver. After all, they have a financial motivation to see her tracked down and prosecuted whereas the police don't.
Who called and reported the accident to the police? There should be a record of that call. How long did you wait for the police to show up after the accident was reported?
Did she drive away simply because it was obvious that the police were not going to show up or was she trying to skirt her responsibilities. Keep in mind, that technically you too left the scene before the police showed up so you are just as guilty of leaving the scene of the accident.

At least you have the plates. You should definately call the police and explain what happened and give them the plates. They have a database of license plates that they can use to find the registered owner of the vehicle that hit you, and while it's true that this may not actually be the person who hit you, the owner should have some kind of clue since it's THEIR car. Good Luck, I hope you get some justice.

As the others have said, call the police and give them her plate number. She'll be in BIG trouble for leaving the scene of an accident!

You needed to have called the police back several times till they came and let them take the report.
You need to go down to the station and file a report, but it will not have near as much effect now, Since the officers will only have your word, no evidence that they left the scene first, ( you also now have left the scene without reporting)
so they can't tell where the cars were located, how they flow of traffic was or anything.
Most likely they will merley take a report and just tell you to let your insurnace company take care of it.

Where the accident happened, go to the Police Department who has the jurisdiction . File a hit and run report and give the Police the license plate of the vehicle. They will do the investigation (i.e. compare the damage on your vehicle to the damage on her vehicle.)

Go to the police station and have them file a report. Make sure you take pictures of your car and the damage she's done to it and give that to them along with her license plate number. They'll find her in no time.

Go to your nearest police station and ask if they can run the license plate for you. Also report that your accident was a hit and run. Explain the accident in its entirety to the police and go from there!
I hope you catch her!

You shouldn't have left the scene either until the police came.But,you can call and let them know her license plate # and ask that they come take a statement.Do you have witnesses?They can validate what occured,otherwise it will be her word against yours if it ends up in court,I wish you luck

Call the police, and explain them the situation. Tell them that she did a hit and run, but you got her license plate. Good Luck!
