A driver who leaves the scene after causing bodily injury in an accident is charged with which violation?

• A. Leaving Scene Of Injury Accident
• B. Leaving Scene Of Property Damage
• C. Fail To Comply
• D. Fail To Obey Traffic Control Device

Answer: (A)

In New York, if a crash injures someone, the driver must stop at the scene, exchange information, and render reasonable aid. Leaving the scene after causing bodily injury is treated as a specific offense called leaving scene of injury accident. This is exactly the situation described, where injury occurred and the driver did not stay to do what is required. The other options don’t fit because they address different situations: leaving after only property damage (not injury) is a separate offense; and failing to comply with an officer’s direction or failing to obey a traffic control device are unrelated to the act of leaving a crash scene after causing injury.
