Criminal Defense and Traffic Attorney Tyler Chriscoe, explains there are a few times when it is not acceptable to leave the scene after an accident. For instance, being scared or anxious about being in a wreck or not knowing what to do. While that can be a reasonable reason to leave, it is not actually validly lawful. Also, saying you had somewhere you needed to be will not go very far in a court of law either.
