What is a "hit and run"?
A hit and run occurs when a driver is involved in an accident but leaves the scene without stopping to provide information or help those affected. This illegal action can happen after a collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or an object. The law requires drivers to stay at the scene, exchange details, and report the accident if necessary. Failing to do so can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.
