After a crash, in which case must you report it to the police right away?
Correct answer: If anyone is hurt or killed, or property damage is $2,000 or more.
Answer options
- AOnly if you or the other driver is hurt
- BOnly if property damage is more than $500
- CIf anyone is hurt or killed, or property damage is $2,000 or more Correct
Why
Delaware law requires you to report a crash right away to the police agency with jurisdiction where it happened if anyone is injured or killed, if a driver appears to be impaired by alcohol or drugs, or if property damage on a public road appears to be $2,000 or more. A crash with no injuries, no impaired driver and less damage than that does not have to be reported to the police.
