Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

I bumped a car in the rear while waiting in traffic for my prom to let out it had to be less than 5 miles per hour. The only damage to my car was a bent license plate and a cracked license plate cover. The other car appeared to have no damage on it. The driver of the other car and I agreed there was no damage. I gave her my cell number and we both drove off. Two days later a policeman called me on my cell and says the driver I hit wants to file a police report. The policeman wants me to drive up to where it happened (30 miles away) and file a report and give me a ticket. The person's father I hit is now saying his car has a bent frame and is totaled (car is 14 years old). My first question is is it possible to bend a frame on a car by hitting it less than 5 miles an hour without visual damage and two do I have to drive to the scene 30 miles away and file a report and get a ticket even though the party requesting the report hasn't filed one yet and the policeman hasn't even seen both. Oh yeah, I third car in front of the one I hit stopped and also agreed that the bump couldn't have been more than 5 miles an hour and there was no visual damage and heard the conversation between both parties and how we agreed that everything looked OK.
