Explanation
If you are involved in a crash that causes injury, death, or property damage, you must stop immediately. It is required by law to remain at the scene, provide assistance to anyone who is hurt, and call 911 or local law enforcement. To alert other drivers, turn on your hazard lights. If the crash is minor and your vehicle is blocking traffic, you should safely move it out of the roadway if possible. Stay calm, exchange information with the other driver, and wait for authorities to arrive. Leaving the scene of a crash is a serious offense.
