No police officer is at a crash that injured a person. After protecting life and arranging urgent help, how soon must a driver notify police?
Correct answer: By the fastest available means of communication.
Why
When an officer is not present, notify the appropriate police authority by the fastest available means after a crash involving injury or death. The law also requires notice for specified property-damage amounts and school-bus cases. This immediate duty is distinct from exchanging information or any later report; do not wait for an insurer to decide fault.
