If you are later involved in an accident that results in an injury or death, you may face additional charges.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
If you caused an accident that resulted in an injury, you could be charged with aggravated assault under ARS 13-1204. This is because a car is considered a dangerous instrument in Arizona. In order for an assault charge to apply, the prosecution must demonstrate that you intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused the accident, ARS 13-1203.
