Leaving The Scene Of An Accident In Michigan: What To Know [Video]

Leaving the scene of an accident in Michigan is a crime. The penalties include fines, jail and driver’s license points and suspension. A driver who has been involved in a crash must: (1) stop; (2) provide personal information; (3) present a driver’s license; and (4) help secure medical aid for anyone injured.

The crime of leaving the scene of an automobile crash is almost always committed by the at-fault driver who caused the car crash. Often this is because the driver who flees the scene is uninsured or is driving on a suspended license or is driving another’s vehicle without permission. A person can be found guilty of leaving the scene even if he or she was not at-fault for the auto accident.
