How
to Report a Hit and Run
Hit
and run is a serious crime and causes major
injuries, often fatal, to pedestrians and other
motorists. The more information about the
suspected driver that can be given to law
enforcement officials, the better.

Use these steps to learn how to accurately and
quickly report a hit and run incident.
-
Observe everything that you witnessed
during the time of the hit and run.
-
Pay attention to what the suspect was
driving, including the car registration
number and physical description.
-
You should note if there is any damage to
the vehicle, the description of the driver,
if there are any other occupants to the
vehicle and their descriptions.
-
Offer aid to the victim and quickly assess
their injuries before contacting
authorities. If you know first aid,
administer the aid they need. If you do not,
get another bystander to help with the
situation. If you are in a high traffic
area, have someone direct traffic around the
accident area.
-
Call 9-9-9. Give the operator all of the
information you gathered and advise them on
the condition of the victim. Follow any
first aid guidance they give you to ensure
the victim is getting all the help they can
while you wait for emergency medical
personnel to arrive.
-
Stay at the scene. You should stick around
until emergency and law enforcement
personnel arrives at the scene. You will
need to fill out an incident report,
attesting to what you witnessed and the
information you remember about the suspect.

should I do if I have witnessed a traffic accident?
