If the driver of a vehicle involved in a traffic crash where someone has sustained an injury or a fatality leaves the scene of the crash, they can be charged with hit-and-run, which Illinois law considers a felony. 625 ILCS 5/11-401 requires that the driver of a vehicle that is involved in an accident that causes injuries or death must stop at the accident scene (or as close as possible) “until the requirements of Section 11-403 have been fulfilled.” 11-403 requires that the driver provide his/her “name, address, registration number, and the identification of owner of the vehicle the driver is operating.” If requested, the driver should show their driver's license to the accident victim, driver, car occupant, or anyone attending the vehicle that was struck. The driver must also render assistance to anyone who is injured, “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 such carrying is requested by the injured person.” Drivers who fail to stop and comply with the 11-403 requirements must also promptly report the details of the crash at the nearest police station or sheriff’s office. Leaving the scene of an accident without providing contact and insurance information to the other driver is a Class A misdemeanor and can result in fines, driver's license suspension, and jail time. Property damage of less than $1,500 is not required to be reported to the police.
