What is a Hit and Run in Manassas?
A Manassas Hit and Run occurs when a driver leaves the scene of an accident without making a report or providing his information. Virginia law requires any driver involved in an accident to provide his name, address, driver’s license number, and vehicle registration number to the other driver or police. If the accident involved unoccupied property, the driver must attempt to locate the property owner or leave a note with this information in addition to his contact information, the date, time and location of the accident, and a description of the damage, as well as report the accident to the police within 24 hours.
A Hit and Run involving property damage under $1,000 is a misdemeanor. If the accident resulted in more than $1,000 in property damage, injury, or death, the offense is a felony.
