Morningside Police have received in excess of 80 reports of ‘hit and run’ traffic crashes this year where drivers have failed to exchanged details when involved in a traffic crash.
Senior Sergeant Marilyn Jackson, Officer in Charge Morningside Station would like to remind road users that a ‘hit and run traffic crash’ refers to any motor vehicle crash where one driver leaves the scene without exchanging details or checking to see if everyone involved is okay.
A hit and run traffic crash also includes when someone hits your parked car and doesn’t leave their details.
Morningside Police are urging drivers to exchange details when involved in a traffic crash and if you hit a parked car, leave your details where the other driver can see them.
If our investigations reveal that you failed to provide your personal particulars at the scene of a crash, you can be issued a Traffic Infringement Notice under s93 Transport Operations
