After college I lived with roommates for a while. One went on a joyride of sorts and damaged a bunch of parking meters, crashed and injured themselves. They had a friend drive them home and repaired the vehicle with no reporting.

In some cities currently even if you want to have police respond to a traffic accident, you'd need to wait a VERY long time - they will tell you that unless you need EMS to try and get a safe spot and call for a tow. Some folks aren't willing to wait hours for police to show up to do what, take a report?

Depending on the state, though, reporting all injury crashes and any property damage over a certain (fairly low) amount is required by law. Not necessarily to the police, but to the DMV. I assume that statistically that would count in the 'reported to police' column.
