Hit-and-Run Crashes and Road Safety in Salem
Hit-and-run accidents pose a serious risk to victims, as delayed medical attention can worsen injuries. Intersections and highway ramps, such as Exit 1 on I-93 South, are common locations for these types of crashes due to merging traffic, sudden lane changes, and high-speed travel.
Drivers involved in crashes are legally required to stop, provide information, and assist injured individuals if necessary. Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense in New Hampshire, and authorities pursue severe penalties against those who flee.
For those injured in hit-and-run accidents, seeking immediate medical attention is critical, even if symptoms appear minor at first. Victims may also have legal options to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages, especially if the at-fault driver is located.
