As a Defense Attorney, Joshua S. Davidson has seen many cases involving DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. It is a common scenario: A person driving under the influence veers slightly off the road and upon overcorrecting their driving mistake, they swerve back into traffic, nicking the side of the vehicle in the next lane over. The driver begins to panic when remembering the few drinks he/she consumed earlier, so fearing a DUI charge, the driver takes off. Chances are someone witnessed the accident and took down the license plate number, or it could be that a police officer nearby heard about the accident and takes off after the suspicious car that left the scene. Whichever way this scene plays out, the driver is pulled over, handcuffed, and charged with not only DUI, but with leaving the scene of an accident as well.
It is the law in Arizona that if involved in an accident, a driver must immediately stop the vehicle at the scene or as close to the scene as possible. The driver is supposed to remain at the scene of the accident until Phoenix law enforcement arrives in order to answer questions and provide information to the reporting officer.
