What is the procedure for handling a traffic accident involving a vehicle hitting a person?
1 Answers
Traffic accident procedures involving a vehicle hitting a person are divided into the following scenarios: 1. Cases resulting in casualties: (1) In the event of a traffic accident on the road, the driver must immediately stop the vehicle and protect the scene. If there are casualties, the driver must immediately provide first aid to the injured and promptly report to the on-duty traffic police or the traffic management department of the public security authority. (2) If the scene is altered due to rescuing the injured, the original positions should be marked. Passengers, passing drivers, and pedestrians should assist. 2. Cases without casualties: (1) In the event of a traffic accident on the road without casualties, if the parties involved have no disputes over the facts and causes, they may leave the scene immediately, restore traffic, and negotiate compensation matters on their own. (2) If both parties do not leave the scene immediately, they should promptly report to the on-duty traffic police or the traffic management department of the public security authority. 3. Cases involving only minor property damage: In the event of a traffic accident on the road causing only minor property damage with clear basic facts, the parties involved should first leave the scene and then negotiate the settlement.
