Motorists involved in a crash or accident must immediately stop and check if there are any injuries or damages to vehicles and assist if possible while waiting for en route EMPD members to record details.
If there are no injuries sustained and vehicles are not causing any obstruction on the roadway, both parties involved can go to the nearest EMPD precinct during weekdays (office hours) or at the police station to register the incident.
There’s no admission of guilt for:
• Failure to stop (hit-and-run) a vehicle involved in an accident in which any other person is killed or injured
• Failing to stop a vehicle involved in an accident in which any other person suffers damage in respect of any property or animal immediately
• Failure to ascertain the extent of injuries after the accident
• Failure to assist an injured person after the accident
No liquor must or should be consumed after an accident, and such an incident must be reported within 24 hours.
