The driver of the vehicle who is involved in an accident resulting in damage to property shall stop the vehicle at the nearest location that would not impede traffic or otherwise jeopardize the safety of other motorists.  Hit and run is generally defined as an individual who gets into an accident (crash) or causes property damage and does not stop but rather flees the scene of the accident. Many hit and run cases are generally not considered intentional, but are usually due to circumstances beyond the driver’s control, such as being unable to stop at a safe location.
