    Yes.. you touched it and are considered a participant to the accident. I doubt you would get in trouble unless you made it a lot worse but still.

    I guess you could ask:

    Did you cause any damage?

    Did anyone see you do it?

    Take it from there.

    Was watching another driver. Cars bumper was sticking out and it looked like he touched but I couldn't be sure. Guy who was driving car didn't complain or tell driver to stop. Was just wondering.
