The driver of a vehicle involved in a traffic accident as a result of which the death or injury of bodily integrity or the health of a person resulted, is obliged to immediately notify the police, not to modify or delete the traces of the accident and is not permitted to leave the scene of the act. He may leave the scene of the act with the approval of the police, who investigate the accident.

If he leaves the scene of the act without the approval of the police, the act constitutes an offense and is punishable by imprisonment from 2 to 7 years.
