I was involved in a hit-and-run. please help?

so, today, i was driving my dodge truck to the gas station. its been snowing all day so the roads are fairly bad, but not so slick that its impossible to drive on. anyway, as i was slowly pulling off the main road into the gas station, i got slammed in the rear. i looked over, realizing that i had been hit, and expected the guy who hit me to slow down and stop. nope. he drove away as fast as he could and blew through the stop light at the corner that the gas station was located on too. i wanted to chase him so bad, but there was no way i could have turned around back onto the main road fast enough. so, i called the police, and they took a report on the incident. i described the vehicle as an older red jeep cherokee with tan trim on the bottom. i did not manage to get the license plate or see what the driver looked like. my trucks rear bumper didnt have too much damage to it, it was just a little out of allignment( good thing it was a solid old steel dodge bumper). im just wanting to ask: is there a way to find all the red jeep cherokees in the area without a license or vin number? like, is there a database that would give you the location of all the red models of the jeep that hit my truck? this is just so frustrating. the only thing that makes me want to find the person who did it is the fact that they just took off like that. i mean, what if they seriously injured me? -and just sped away like that. its so aggrivating. please help me out if you can. i live in the vermillion county area of illinois. thanks everyone
