§ 511-10. Reporting Accidents on Public Roads or Highways.
It shall be the duty of any operator whose vehicle is involved in any accident upon a public road or highway to report such accident to a police officer or at a police station as promptly as is practicable, and in any case within 24 hours after the occurrence of such accident. It shall be the duty of any operator whose vehicle is involved in an accident upon a public road or highway in which any person or property is injured to immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of such accident and remain at the scene of such accident until such operator has given his name and address and the license number of the vehicle to any person injured in such accident or to the operator, occupant, owner or attendant, or to any police officer at the scene of such accident.
In the event that the injured person is unable to comprehend and record the information required to be given by this section, the other driver involved in such accident shall forthwith notify the nearest police authority concerning the location of the accident, and the driver's name, address, and the registration number of the motor vehicle being operated, and then remain at the scene of the accident until a police officer arrives, unless removed from the scene by an emergency vehicle operated by a political subdivision or an ambulance.
If such accident is with an unoccupied or unattended motor vehicle, the operator so colliding with such motor vehicle shall securely attach the information required to be given in this section, in writing, to a conspicuous place in or on said motor vehicle.
