Failure to report an accident that caused property damage of $1,000 or more is not a criminal offense.

If an accident causes property damage exceeding $1,000, the drivers involved must report it to the police or local sheriff. An accident that causes any injuries must also be reported by the drivers involved. Failure to report an accident may result in criminal charges and license suspension.
