What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
A couple weekends ago I was driving home (around 1am), and was distracted by playing with my GPS. I looked up and I was at a dead end and made quick turn and popped a curb and slid down a hill destroying my tires and underside of my car.
I didn't know I had to call the police for a single car accident causing no property damage other than my own car and no injuries.
I got a ride home. The next day I go my car and notice it was towed overnight. I called the police and they told me where it was towed, I asked if I needed to come down to make a statement, was told no.
I go down to the police to get the impound slip, and again ask if I should make a statement and they said single car accident with no property damage it wasn't needed.
It didn't seem right to me, so I eventually call and speak to the officer who filed the accident report. I ask if he wants me to come down (for fleeing an accident) he said no, and asked why I left (it was late and cold and didn't know I needed to for this type of accident).
The reason this is asked here is because I have a previous DUI and now am afraid that this will be looked as one as well, even though I was not drunk. The police officer had my address and Insurance info and could have come to my house if wanted to speak to me. The accident report says most severe infraction is careless driving.
