Absolutely, stop, render assistance, wait for the police to arrive on the scene. If you, as you said, caused the accident, DON'T, give your account to the police. You are under NO obligation to make a statement. (practice saying: "I'm more than happy to talk to you with my legal counsel present.") DO give your personal information, name, address, name of insurance company and so on. DO call your lawyer as soon as practical and talk to your lawyer about the incident. And no, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not giving you legal advice.
