The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with the authorities. The investigation is still ongoing, and anyone with helpful information should contact the Morgan Hill Police Traffic detectives.
Accident reports have shown that not everyone involved in an accident stays behind at the scene. They often panic and flee the scene, leading to a series of legal issues. Those who flee the scene of an accident without checking for injuries, death, or damage to property face a hit-and-run charge.
The offense under California is charged either as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the circumstances of the case. A guilty verdict means possible jail time for the offender, a fine, or both. It is prudent to have a car injury lawyer in such cases for legal advice and representation.
