What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code Section 20001 requires any driver involved in a collision that results in injury or death to immediately stop at the scene, or as close as possible, and provide identification and render reasonable assistance. Failing to stop after a crash involving injuries is a criminal offense that can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony hit-and-run. This duty applies to every driver involved in a multivehicle collision, regardless of fault.

California Vehicle Code Section 16000 requires drivers to file a report with the DMV within 10 days of any accident involving injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000, in addition to any report made to police at the scene. This report helps document the crash and can become an important record in determining what happened. Insurance carriers and investigators often rely on these reports, along with police and fire department incident logs, to reconstruct multivehicle crashes like this one.
