Usually one talks about бегство с места ДТП (= дорожно-транспортного происшествия). In a more formal style оставление места ДТП is also used.

    Yes, but it worth to mention also that in case we should use a verb, it is more appropriate to say not "убежал с места происшествия" but "скрылся с места происшествия". – shabunc♦ Jul 27 '12 at 11:04

The legalese for this would be оставление места ДТП.

КоАП РФ, 12.27, п. 2

Оставление водителем в нарушение Правил дорожного движения места дорожно-транспортного происшествия, участником которого он являлся, -

влечет лишение права управления транспортными средствами на срок от одного года до полутора лет или административный арест на срок до пятнадцати суток.
