A video from a New York resident in the United States went viral on TikTok after showing that his car had been hit in a hit-and-run crash.
The responsible driver left only a note with an apology and $80 in cash, without a name or contact information. The car owner, clearly outraged, showed in the video the extensive damage to the side of the vehicle, including deep scratches, peeled paint, and dents. The amount left was considered insignificant, as the repair will likely cost much more.
In such a situation, experts recommend staying calm, documenting the damage with photos, keeping any item left by the driver, and filing a police report as soon as possible. It is also essential to notify the insurance company, which can advise on next steps, assess the damage, and check coverage. Depending on the severity of the damage or if there are injuries, seeking legal support may be important.
Additionally, the law requires that when causing an accident with a parked car, the driver must leave a note with their details and report the incident, which was not properly done in this case.
Internet users expressed outrage over the driver’s behavior and the small amount left, emphasizing the importance of calling the police and looking for security cameras in the area. The case sparked debate about responsibility and proper conduct after traffic accidents.
