What is a Manassas Hit and Run?
A Manassas Hit and Run is a Crime and Can be a Misdemeanor or a Felony
Virginia law requires any driver involved in a car accident to provide his name, address, driver’s license number, and vehicle registration number to the other driver, property owner, or police. If the driver cannot locate the property owner, he must 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. He must also report the accident to the police within 24 hours. Failure to report this information will result in a criminal charge.
If the accident resulted in less than $1,000 in property damage, the Hit and Run charge is a misdemeanor. If the accident resulted in more than $1,000 in property damage, injury, or death, the Hit and Run charge is a felony.
