Rep Power: 0 | |  Received a "Hit & Run" ticket when other person rear ended me
Hello,
I was in a car accident in California. I was slowing down as I was approached an intersection to make a left hand turn with my turn signal on. As I started to move into the left hand turn lane a SUV rear-ended my car hitting me in the rear-(rear right side) at least 40 mph faster than my car was going. The SUV crushed the entire trunk of my Oldsmobile and then spun in front of my car.
In a daze and not thinking clearly, I drove for a few minutes (exactly 1.3 miles) and then pulled over (the 3rd available right turn after the accident) and called AAA for assistance.
The police knew where my vehicle was stopped, but I did not call the police directly (only AAA). When AAA towed the car to my house (about 1.5 miles away), the police arrived there at the same time and wrote me a "hit & run" ticket.
No one was injured in the accident. The police already wrote an accident report at the scene since the SUV had a damaged radiator and bent front axle and couldn't move. The speed limit is 45 mph in that area.
I'm not sure what my legal options are in regards to the "hit & run" ticket, any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anna  |

I hope you were able to get the ticket dismissed. | | Domain Names Sponsor |  | |
