California AB1281 mandates drivers to stop at accident scenes causing injury or death, with severe penalties for fleeing.

California AB1281 amends the Vehicle Code to require drivers involved in accidents resulting in injury or death to stop immediately and fulfill notification requirements. Violators face imprisonment in state or county jail, fines, or both. Fleeing the scene after such an accident results in additional penalties, including extended prison terms. The bill defines "permanent, serious injury" as the loss or permanent impairment of a bodily member or organ.
