What to Do If the Other Party Flees After a Collision?

Be sure to call the police immediately and report the other party for hit-and-run. Here are the steps to handle a traffic accident: 1. Turn on hazard lights and press the dashcam: The first reaction should always be to stop the car as soon as possible. Turn on the hazard lights, and if you have a dashcam installed, press the 'record' button (dashcams can record events that occurred up to half a minute or more beforehand). This will help the traffic police gain a clearer understanding of the accident and make a ruling. 2. Take photos and do not move the car: If the damage is minor and the accident liability is relatively clear, take some photos of the scene, including the impact area, skid marks, license plate numbers, and an overview of the accident. Take as many photos as possible. Then quickly move the car to a safe area (moving the car is only suitable for minor damage). 3. Place a triangular warning sign: If the vehicle is severely damaged and cannot be moved, be sure to set up a triangular warning sign at least 150 meters away from the accident scene in the direction of oncoming traffic, and wait for the traffic police and rescue teams to arrive.
