A. The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person or damage to any vehicle or property shall immediately stop his vehicle at the scene of such accident, or as close thereto as possible, return to and remain at the scene of the accident until he has given his name, address and the registration of his vehicle and shall, upon request, exhibit his driver's license to the person injured or the driver or occupant of, or person attending, any vehicle collided with, and shall render to any person injured in such accident reasonable assistance, including the carrying or making arrangement for the carrying of such person to a physician, surgeon or hospital for medical and surgical treatment if it is apparent that this treatment is necessary, or if such is requested by the injured person. Each such stop shall be made without obstructing traffic more than is necessary.

If a driver makes out a written report of the accident in the office of the police department as soon as practicable after the accident, which report is to be forwarded to the state department of public safety in accordance with state law, the driver shall be deemed to be in compliance with this section.
C. Any person failing to stop or to comply with any of the requirements of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined as provided in section 1-4-1 of this code. (1990 Code § 15-118)
