California Vehicle Code section 20001 states that it is a crime to leave the scene of an accident in which you were involved, without relating your identification to the other party.  It is important to stop your vehicle, make sure there are no injuries and to give your identifying information, including your insurance information to the other party.  Vehicle Code Section 20002 deals with a Hit & Run where there was only property damage.  If, on the other, hand you had injured a third party, not yourself, the case may be filed as a felony.
