(c) A violation of Subsection (2) is a second degree felony if: (i) (A) the accident results in serious bodily injury to an individual; and (B) the operator has previously been convicted under this section; (ii) within 10 years before the day on which the operator committed the current violation, the operator was convicted of two or more previous violations of the offense of driving under the influence described in Section 41-6a-502; or (iii) the accident results in the death of an individual. (5) (a) Except as provided in Subsection (5)(b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this section, an enhancement under this section based on one or more prior convictions is not applicable if, no later than six hours after the accident occurred, the operator voluntarily reports the accident to a law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the location where the accident occurred. (b) Subsection (5)(a) does not affect any enhancement or penalty based on the existence of bodily injury, serious bodily injury, or death. (6) In addition to any other factor authorized by law, the fact that an operator self-reported the accident to a law enforcement agency, regardless of the time elapsed since the accident, is a mitigating factor for purposes of sentencing. (7) When sentencing an operator convicted under Subsection (4), the court shall comply with Section 41-6a-401.8. (8) An operator is guilty of a separate offense for each victim who suffers injury or death because of the operator's violation of this section.
