Hit-and-Run Collisions in California
Crashes in which the at-fault driver leaves the scene, such as Tuesday night’s incident on SR-14 in Palmdale, can make it more challenging for victims to get the help they need. This stretch of highway, connecting Antelope Valley to Los Angeles County, sees heavy commuter and truck traffic, especially during the evening hours. When a driver flees, it can delay emergency response and complicate the process of determining liability.
California law mandates that all drivers involved in a crash stop, provide identification, and offer assistance to anyone who is injured. Failing to do so can result in serious criminal charges, including felony hit-and-run when injuries are involved.
Local Accident Reports urges anyone with information about this or any other hit-and-run crash to contact law enforcement.
