The woman driving the Jeep Cherokee suffered minor injuries in the crash. Paramedics transported her to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Hit-and-Run is a Crime

A hit-and-run is a deadly offense that endangers lives and robs victims of their right to assistance. If you’re in an accident, do not leave the scene and check for injuries, 911 should be called immediately. Leaving can lead to criminal charges, even if the crash appears to be minor. As a driver, own it — someone’s life could hang in the balance.

If you observe a hit-and-run, report it and give any information you can. Assistance to law enforcement can really make a difference. Each of us can do our part to drive responsibly and with integrity, and to get everyone the help they need after a crash.

Hit-and-run crashes leave victims dealing not only with injuries but also uncertainty and stress. Drivers involved in any collision should remain at the scene, render aid when possible, and cooperate with authorities. Responsible actions can make a critical difference for those injured.
