Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in California
Hit-and-run accidents involving pedestrians are a serious issue in California, particularly on highways and high-speed roadways like SR-14. Pedestrians are at significant risk in these types of collisions, often sustaining severe or life-threatening injuries due to the force of impact.
Drivers who flee the scene of a crash violate California Vehicle Code 20001, which requires motorists involved in accidents to stop, provide assistance, and report the incident to authorities. Failing to do so not only endangers the victim but can also lead to criminal charges.
