What Should Drivers Do After a Hit-and-Run?
A hit-and-run can leave an injured person without the assistance or information that would normally be exchanged after a collision. Anyone involved in a crash should stop when it is safe to do so and check whether medical help is needed. Moving to a safer location away from active traffic can also reduce the risk of another collision.
Witnesses may be able to provide useful details about a vehicle that leaves the scene. Information such as the vehicle’s color, type, license plate, direction of travel, or visible damage can help investigators identify it. People should avoid following or confronting a fleeing driver and instead report what they observed.
Freeway crashes can be particularly hazardous because vehicles continue traveling at highway speeds around the incident. Drivers approaching a crash should slow down, stay alert for people or vehicles on the shoulder, and give emergency responders sufficient space. Avoiding distractions can make it easier to recognize hazards and react safely.
