Hit-and-Run Accident Statistics

You have committed a hit-and-run when you hit a bicyclist, scooter rider, or pedestrian and then fled the accident scene. If you hit a parked car while it is empty and then leave the scene, that is considered a hit-and-run. Hit-and-run accidents are worse than regular traffic accidents because the offender fled the scene.

According to researchers at ValuePenguin, there were 1,342 fatal hit-and-runs in 2010 and 1,939 in 2019. From 1,393 to 2,005 deaths during the same period, a 44 percent increase. The majority of deadly hit-and-runs during this period occurred in California.

According to a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, California’s 337 hit-and-run fatalities were 60% more than those recorded ten years earlier. California Crimes involving hit-and-runs can be prosecuted as either felonies or misdemeanors.

If you hit something, fled, and the damage was less than a certain amount, you might be charged with a misdemeanor. On the other hand, those who cause harm or death to another person may face felony charges.
