We hear about it almost every day in the news, a hit and run accident involving a collision with another car, a child riding a bike or a family crossing the street. A hit and run occurs when a person is driving his or her car and hits another vehicle, a person or object, and they do not stop. California law requires that if you are involved in any type of accident, you must stop and provide proper identification to law enforcement or the other people involved in the accident. Many people may become scared and run, sometimes due to the serious nature of the accident, their immigration status, lack of insurance, DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or a variety other reasons.
