The automobile sped away from the scene of the accident leaving the motorcycle rider and his bike injured and alone in the middle of the road. The Sacramento Fire Department along with paramedics were on the scene to aid the injured man and transport him to a nearby hospital where he was treated for his non-life threatening injuries.

Hit and Run Accidents in California

Each year California loses roughly 1500 people to fatal hit and run accidents, 60% of whom are pedestrians. Approximately 11% of all reported crashes in California involve a driver leaving the scene of the accident. When you have been involved in an accident, regardless of fault, California law obligates you to stay at the scene of the accident until police and/or emergency services have arrived. Once you flee the scene of the accident you are now going to be facing criminal charges. Depending on the circumstances of the accident and whether or not anyone was injured or killed will determine if you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony hit and run charge.

If you were injured in an accident where the other driver chose to leave the scene it is imperative that you contact an attorney right away.
