I don't know Ohio laws, but many states require an accident report (different from a police report) only if someone is injured or if total damage exceeds a certain dollar figure. I think here in Oregon the figure is $1000 now. So if this were to happen in Portland and there was no injury, an accident report would not be required.
As far as an officer on the scene, in Oregon typically the police will not be sent unless there is an injury or an impedence to traffic. So, again, they likely would not have responded to this call.
