More details to this question:
I got a call from a Trooper questioning me about an accident that occurred. The driver said that I cut them off causing his vehicle to roll over. I did not witness that accident. I didn't see anything and no one followed me. The officer claims that there was a witness. What do I do? Thanks.

Contact a lawyer. It sounds like a scam. Troopers don't call, they mail tickets or they come to your house. Do NOT pay anything. Contact a lawyer and contact the police department.

First, report it to your insurance company right away. Due to the fact leaving the scene of an accident, especially involving personal injuries, is a crime, you may wish to consult with a criminal lawyer before returning anyone's call.

All you really can do is to tell the truth as to what you know. You certainly want to contact your insurance company and report the incident immediately. Your insurance company will defend you in this matter for free.
