The driver of a vehicle involved in a traffic accident as a result of which the death or injury to the bodily integrity or health of a person resulted, is obliged not to leave the scene and not to modify or wipe the traces of the accident. Therefore, he may change the position of the vehicle involved in the accident only with the approval of the police, which investigates the accident.
If you do not respect this obligation and change the position of the vehicle or wipe the traces of the accident, from which the killing or injury to the bodily integrity or health of one or more persons resulted, it is considered an offence and is punished with imprisonment from 2 to 7 years.
