Detained for hit-and-run accident: What to do?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have an inquiry about my friend who was detained by immigration in Abu Dhabi and taken to CID. They said he is being investigated for a hit-and-run accident, but they are not providing much information.
My friend gave his car to someone else to drive, and the driver was involved in a minor accident. The driver said he stopped at the side of the road after the accident, but a police officer told him to move his car to the parking lot near Dubai Mall.
The driver did as he was told, and a taxi was also involved in the accident. Everyone was safe, but after they parked, the driver of the first car told the driver of my friend's car to go further down the road because there were a lot of cars.
The driver of my friend's car couldn't find the other driver, so he left the scene. What can happen in this scenario?
Who will be at fault, the friend who was driving the car or the friend who owns the car?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
In the situation you described, the car owner might not be directly at fault for the accident itself, but they could face legal consequences for allowing someone else to drive their car, especially if the driver was involved in an accident and left the scene without reporting it.
It's essential for your friend to cooperate with the police, and provide all necessary information.
