Legal Question in Employment Law in California

In California, if you are involved in a hit and run, meaning someone else crashes into your car and damages it to the point you can only drive about 20 miles per hour and then runs instead of stopping with you, can you be fired from your job for being late since it happened on the way to work? Even though he's been late a couple times already this week?
