After that story it should be clear that our gov't just needs to make money off of us so badly that if they could, they would make a pooping tax/fine and get some cash from us for taking a dump.
Your car was damaged, nobody else's property was damaged and yet they still want you to call them so they can come out, waste your time and theirs to hand out some tickets. Pathetic.
I also don't see in the law where it specifies you are required to call them in your particular situation:

If there was another driver or property damage to deal with then it would make sense but it sounds like they just want to catch an impaired driver fleeing the scene.
If they start pushing and you actually do get cited in court and/or fined then call an attorney and give them hell right back:

To me, it sounds like the road wasn't safe due to the construction(a sign up doesn't let the construction company off the hook for their negligence of debris on the road) and if somebody is looking
to make your life even more difficult on top of having the car wrecked maybe you need to act accordingly by giving it right back.
The more I think about it and get mad for you, maybe just call an attorney no matter what and soon to get their opinion of the situation.
