What Happens After a Hit-and-Run Crash?
A hit-and-run occurs when a driver leaves the scene of a traffic crash without remaining to provide required information or assistance. When people are hurt, investigators may examine vehicle damage, roadway evidence, surveillance footage, and witness accounts to identify the fleeing driver.
Witnesses can sometimes provide useful details about the vehicle, including its make, model, color, license plate, or direction of travel. Nearby security cameras may also capture the vehicle before or after the collision.
People involved in a crash can also document vehicle damage and other visible evidence when it is safe to do so. Medical records may provide information about injuries and treatment after the accident.
