What Should Drivers Do After a Hit-and-Run Crash?
A hit-and-run can make an already stressful collision more difficult because one of the involved drivers may leave before information can be exchanged. People who remain at the scene should move to a safe location when possible and seek medical assistance if anyone is injured. Avoiding confrontation with a fleeing driver can also help prevent additional danger.
Witnesses can provide valuable information about a vehicle that leaves the scene. Details such as the vehicle’s make, model, color, license plate, direction of travel, or visible damage may help investigators identify it. Dashcam footage or nearby security cameras may also capture useful information.
Drivers approaching a crash scene should slow down and watch for emergency vehicles, damaged cars, debris, and people near the roadway. Sudden maneuvers around a collision can create secondary crashes. Giving responders enough room to work and following temporary traffic controls can help keep the area safer.
