A crime that does not require an intention; leaving the scene of an accident is a strict liability crime meaning there doesn't have to be an intention to leave the scene.
“And then another one is we see a lot of times leaving the scene of an accident or also failure to report an accident. And so leaving the scene of an accident, anytime you're involved in any accident, whether it's damage only or there's injury or whether someone even sadly passes away, there's always a duty to stop at the accident, even if the other person leaves. And so leaving the scene of an accident is actually strict liability crime, which means that there doesn't have to be an intention to leave the scene. just means that you left the scene in general and didn't stay after an accident.”
