A hit and run is defined as a road traffic accident where the guilty party does not stop at the scene of the incident. With any accident, the person at fault is legally required to give insurance information to the other party involved. Another example of a hit and run is when a person is walking and they get hit and injured and the guilty party does not stop. Anytime information is not exchanged between the two parties involved it is considered a hit and run.

Many factors can contribute to a hit and run. A person may flee from an accident scene if they didn't yield to traffic signs or signals, if they were using their cell phone for calls or texting, if they were under the influence of alcohol or if they simply don't have insurance.
