What if there is some damage to the other car that you didn't see (but none to yours)? Does that change things?
What is the penalty for this and would the police pursue it?
Thanks. |
From Massachutts statutes:
G. L. c. 90, § 24 (2) (a1/2),--Leaving the Scene of an Accident
**************....
(a 1/2) (1) Whoever operates a motor vehicle upon any way or in any place to which the public has right of access, or upon any way or in any place to which members of the public shall have access as invitees or licensees, and without stopping and making known his name, residence and the registration number of his motor vehicle, goes away after knowingly colliding with or otherwise causing injury to any person not resulting in the death of any person,
shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than two years and by a fine of not less than five hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars.
As far as the police pursuing it, it would depend on how much information they have.
