Correct answer
Yes, but only if the driver was involved in the accident.
A driver who does not stop to help a seriously injured accident victim, even if they were not involved in the accident, could be committing the offence of failing to render assistance. Under the Criminal Code, there is a legal obligation to provide assistance or request help for people who are helpless and in serious danger, provided this can be done without risk to oneself or others. This offence applies in two main situations: Failure to assist the victim: If a driver encounters a helpless person in serious danger and does not provide assistance despite being able to do so without risk, they commit this offence. Failure to request assistance: If the driver cannot provide direct help, they are obliged to request assistance urgently.
