--------
It seems to me that the responsibility to remove broken glass and other 
debris from the scene of an accident is that of whoever removes the 
damaged vehicles.  If the driver can drive away, he should take his 
trash with him; if a towing service is called, cleaning up should be the 
responsibility of the tow truck operator.  While working for my father 
in his body shop, I often helped with "wrecker calls".  We always picked 
up all the broken broken parts around the area and swept up the broken 
glass and other debris.  I don't know if we were required to by law, but 
we generally felt it was our responsibility -- and it was good P.R. too!
