BILL NUMBER:S4747 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to aggravated leaving the scene of an incident without reporting PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To deter drivers from leaving the scene of personal injury and fatal accidents. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill creates the new crime "aggravated leaving the scene of an incident without reporting." A person would be guilty of this new crime if he or she engaged in reckless driving and left the scene of an accident resulting in death or serious physical injury either while knowing or having reason to know that his or her license is suspended or revoked for leaving the scene or for driving while intoxicated (DWI) or while ability impaired (DWAI), or had a prior conviction for leaving the scene or for DWI/DWAI. This new crime would be a class C felony. JUSTIFICATION: New York State is experiencing an epidemic of leaving the scene accidents where the outcome has been serious physical injury and death: In Suffolk County alone in 2012, 13 fatalities can be attributed to an individual leaving the scene of an incident without reporting. The crime is particularly egregious since a severely injured person's chance of survival is greatly diminished when medical care is delayed.
