If you cannot find the owner after a crash, you should...

• A. Leave your name, address, phone number and license plate number on the vehicle or property.
• B. Drive away and call later
• C. Hand the owner your insurance information
• D. Take a photo and leave

Answer: (A)

When you’re involved in a crash and you can’t locate the owner, you must leave your contact information and vehicle details on the damaged vehicle or property. This practice ensures the owner can reach you to arrange repairs or filing a report, and it helps authorities identify who was involved. Including your name, address, phone number, and the license plate number makes it easy to connect the incident to you and follow up properly.

Driving away is not acceptable because it leaves the other party without a way to contact you and can be treated as a hit-and-run. Simply handing insurance information to someone you can’t locate isn’t possible, and taking a photo and leaving doesn’t provide the owner with a way to reach you. Leaving a note with your contact details is the appropriate, responsible step to take.
