UCMJ Article 111: Leaving Scene of Vehicle Accident
Article 111 covers “hit and run” situations where there is damage to property other than the driver’s vehicle or injury to someone other than the driver or a passenger in the driver’s vehicle. It also covers accidents caused by the accused, even if the accused’s vehicle does not contact other people, vehicles, or property. Actual knowledge of an accident is required; however, circumstantial evidence may be used to prove such knowledge.
