The driver of the vehicle who has hit a pedestrian who crossed the road, regardless of whether the pedestrian was crossing in compliance with the rules or not, is obliged to notify the police, to not modify the traces of the accident and to not leave the scene of the act. In this case is prohibited the leaving of the scene of the act without the approval of the police or of the prosecutor who carries out the investigation. Failure to respect the prohibition of leaving the scene of the act is considered an offence and is punished with imprisonment from 2 to 7 years.

Nevertheless, it does NOT constitute an offence the situation in which, in the absence of other means of transport, the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident transports himself the injured person to the nearest hospital, this one having the obligation to declare the personal identification data and the registration number or record of the vehicle driven, data which will be recorded in a special register, and to return immediately to the scene of the accident.
