Car accident - the other vehicle drove away
By flower little •
We had a car accident and the container that hit the car just drove away without stopping. What should we do? My husband is at the police station now. What usually happens in this type of an accident where the other vehicle wouldn't stop?
oh very bad, a very irresponsible driver. i do hope he get caught and be funished and cant ever sleep. if your husband was able to obtain the plate number then he's nowhere to go but if not, youre insurance will cover. a police report will be issued to your husband in the police station. goodluck...
As long as he got the vehicle registration number, make and such like. There shouldn't be too much trouble. He will not have a problem.
Your legal obligation is to phone the police and make a statement. If you have the other vehicles details that is good - then all you can do is leave it to the police.
your insurance will pay for the damage (if you have comprehensive insurance that is). Whatever insurance cover you have, you cannot get the repair completed without the police report - the garage will ask you for that.
nothing can be done if you or your husband dint notice the number plate of the other vehicle.
You will have to repair the car at your own expense incase third party insurance.
The police might ask to wait for one week & they would investigate the matter, later, your husband can collect the paper to repair the car.
