What duty must a driver perform if the collision involved injuries or death?

• A. Stop at scene and give info
• B. Drive away if the other party is uninjured
• C. Call a lawyer
• D. Wait for law enforcement to arrive before stopping

Answer: (A)

When a crash involves injuries or death, you must stop at the scene and exchange information. This duty helps injured people get aid and allows authorities to document what happened. Providing your name, address, driver’s license, vehicle registration, and insurance details, and offering reasonable assistance if possible, is the standard requirement. Leaving the scene is illegal and dangerous, and waiting for law enforcement to arrive after you’ve left the scene isn’t acceptable. Driving away or delaying contact defeats the purpose of aid and accountability, so stopping and giving information is the correct action.
