Under existing law, the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person or damage to a motor vehicle is required to immediately stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the accident or as close as possible.
This bill would require the driver to move a motor vehicle involved in an accident from the roadway when no apparent serious physical injury or death has occurred and would authorize employees of the Department of Transportation to require and assist in moving a disabled vehicle involved in an accident from the roadway on the state highway system.
The bill would provide immunity to the department and its employees for actions under this act.
