There are a variety of reasons motorists flee after a collision in the Ontario area:
Some drivers may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and they are afraid of a DUI charge.
They might also fear being charged with other vehicle crimes associated with causing injury or fatality while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Some motorists may be so inebriated that they do not even realize that they have caused a collision, and drive off unaware of the havoc or destruction they are causing.
Other drivers may take off because they are driving without a license, driving without registration, or driving without insurance.
Some might be driving a stolen vehicle, or they may be wanted by the police for another offense, like an outstanding warrant.
Others are simply scared about what they have done, and are afraid to face the repercussions.
