What Should Drivers Know About Hit-and-Run Crashes?
Drivers involved in a collision should stop at the scene and check whether anyone needs medical assistance. Leaving without providing information or making sure injured people receive help can create additional risks. Staying at the scene allows emergency responders to reach anyone who may need treatment.
Motorists should remain attentive and maintain a safe speed to reduce the likelihood of a crash. If a collision occurs, drivers should move to a safe location when possible without leaving the scene and contact emergency services. Sharing accurate information with responders can help them address the incident.
People who witness a crash can also play an important role by providing information to emergency personnel when it is safe to do so. Witnesses should avoid putting themselves in danger while observing or reporting what they saw. Drivers should also give emergency vehicles enough space to reach the crash scene.
