Upon request of any person who is injured or damaged, or any other person, the operator shall give that person the operator’s name and address and, if the operator is not the owner, the name and address of the owner of that motor vehicle, together with the registered number of that motor vehicle, and, if available, exhibit the operator’s driver’s or commercial driver’s license.
(2) If the operator of the motor vehicle involved in the accident or collision does not provide the information specified in division (A)(1) above, the operator shall give that information, within 24 hours after the accident or collision, to the police department of the city or village in which the accident or collision occurred, or if it occurred outside the corporate limits of a city or village, to the sheriff of the county in which the accident or collision occurred.
(3) If the accident or collision is with an unoccupied or unattended motor vehicle, the operator who collides with the motor vehicle shall securely attach the information required under division (A)(1) above, in writing, to a conspicuous place in or on the unoccupied or unattended motor vehicle.
(B) (1) Whoever violates division (A) above is guilty of failure to stop after a non-public road accident. Except as otherwise provided in divisions (B)(2) or (B)(3) below, failure to stop after a non-public road accident is a misdemeanor of the first degree.
(2) If the accident or collision results in serious physical harm to a person, failure to stop after a non- public road accident is a felony to be prosecuted under appropriate state law.
