COLJI-Crim. 42:22.SP

The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury

to, serious bodily injury to, or death of any person or damage to any

vehicle which was driven or attended by any person shall give the driver’s

name, the driver’s address, and the registration number of the vehicle he

[she] was driving and shall upon request exhibit his [her] driver’s license to

the person struck or the driver or occupant of or person attending any

vehicle collided with and where practical shall render to any person

injured in such accident reasonable assistance, including the carrying, or

the making of arrangements for the carrying, of such person to a physician,

surgeon, or hospital for medical or surgical treatment if it is apparent that

such treatment is necessary or if the carrying is requested by the injured

person.

A driver does not commit the crime of failure to fulfill duties after

involvement in an accident involving injury or death if, after fulfilling the

requirements set forth above, he [she] leaves the scene of the accident for

the purpose of reporting the accident to a duly authorized police authority.

In the event that none of the persons specified above are in condition

to receive the information to which they otherwise would be entitled and

no police officer is present, the driver of any vehicle involved in such

accident after fulfilling all other requirements, insofar as possible on the

driver’s part to be performed, shall immediately report the accident to the

nearest office of a duly authorized police authority and give that authority

notice of the location of the accident, as well as all information specified

above.
