Under the General Traffic Regulations, you must inform the authorities if people are injured in an accident or if one of the people involved asks for it. If nobody is injured and traffic safety has been restored, you do not need to inform them, unless one of the people involved demands it. That is why this answer is correct. The relevant article of the Traffic and Road Safety Code says you do not need to inform the authorities if there was only material damage and safety has been restored.
