Section 10-104 imposes a duty to give certain information (name, address, and vehicle registration number) and render aid.

...96-330, § 14, at 1902, Laws of Fla.

...One of the main purposes of the statute is to ensure that accident victims receive medical assistance as soon as possible. Id. at 1225 (citation omitted).

Id. § 316.062(3); ch. 91-255, § 13, Laws of Florida. [8] The state argues that this amendment to section 316.062 should be interpreted as also applying to section 316.066. The state urges that upon reading subsection 316.062(3) into section 316.066, it follows that a driver is no longer required to make a report or say anything to the investigating officer....

...[9] We do not think that the state's analysis is a plausible interpretation of the 1991 statutory amendments. The 1991 amendments to chapter 316 were enacted in chapter 91-255, Laws of Florida. That piece of legislation added provisions regarding self-incrimination to both section 316.062 and section 316.066, Florida Statutes—and used different language in each case. When the legislature amended section 316.062, regarding the duty to give information and render aid, the legislature added the limitation that there would be no duty to make a report or give information which would violate the privilege against self-incrimination. § 316.062(3), Fla.Stat....

...ted exception relating to the privilege against self-incrimination. We conclude that the accident report privilege of section 316.066 remains intact, but has been modified by the 1991 exception contained in subsection 316.066(4). We conclude that subsection 316.062(3), relied on by the state, should be interpreted as applying solely to the duty to give information and render aid set forth in section 316.062....

...ny earlier-administered Miranda warnings. It would be then necessary at the conclusion of the accident investigation to advise the reporting person that the criminal investigation was beginning and to administer new Miranda warnings. [8] As amended, section 316.062, Florida Statutes (1993) provides: 316.062 Duty to give information and render aid.— (1) The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person or damage to any vehicle or other property which is driven or attended by any person shall give his...

...1st DCA 1984), a case virtually identical to the present case, the court concluded that victim injury is not an element of leaving the scene of an accident (section 316.027) in the sense that one must injure or kill someone to be guilty of the offense. [1] Likewise, we conclude that victim injury is not an element of section 316.062....

...While that case was pending in the County Court the State Attorney filed the direct information involved herein in the Circuit Court which charges the relator with a felony, to-wit: "willfully" leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury in violation of "§ 316.062." As may be suspected, at this point, it is undisputed that the accident referred to in the Uniform Traffic Citation, and the accident referred to in the pending information in the Circuit Court, are one and the same accident; and the one injured party is the same person in each case....

...First of all, to summarize in the interest of brevity and conciseness, § 316.026 of that law is an omnibus section which provides that a violation of any provision of Chapter 316, F.S. 1971, F.S.A., constitutes a crime punishable as a misdemeanor unless a different punishment is specifically otherwise provided for. Section 316.062 makes it incumbent on the driver of any motor vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury or death to any person to give his name and address, and exhibit his license upon request, to the person injured or to another appropria...

...of any person shall immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of the accident, or as close thereto as possible, and shall forthwith return to, and in every event shall remain at the scene of, the accident until he has fulfilled the requirements of § 316.062....

...ion, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state penitentiary for not more that one (1) year or by fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) or by both such fine and imprisonment." (Italics ours.) We parenthetically point out here that § 316.062, supra, does not expressly require that a driver stop to comply therewith; but it is obviously impossible to comply without stopping. On the other hand, the aforequoted § 316.027 expressly requires the driver to stop and/or to remain at the scene and fully to comply with the aforesaid § 316.062. But in any case, it is obvious that both sections must be read in pari materia and that each relates to the same wrongful conduct, to-wit: failure to comply with § 316.062. The state can take no solace, therefore, in the fact that the Uniform Traffic Citation first issued as aforesaid expressly cited a violation of § 316.027 while the pending information in the Circuit Court cites a violation of § 316.062. Each such section proscribes essentially the same acts or omissions. Now again, as early pointed out above, relator contends that failing to stop and/or to remain at the scene of an accident until complying with § 316.062, supra, in violation of subsection (1) of § 316.027, is a misdemeanor punishable pursuant to the aforesaid omnibus misdemeanor section....

...Who would gainsay that willful non-compliance is more reprehensible? Finally, we express our view that the misdemeanor defined by subsection (1) of § 316.027 is included within the felony defined by subsection (2) thereof since, as noted, the two principal sections involved, i.e., § 316.027 itself and § 316.062, both condemn the same conduct; the additional element of willfulness found in subsection (2) of § 316.027 merely makes such proscribed conduct a higher degree of the "same offense." Accordingly, double jeopardy considerations come into play....

..."this is now a criminal investigation," followed immediately by Miranda warnings, before any statement by the defendant may be admitted. State v. Norstrom, 613 So.2d 437, 440-41 (Fla.1993). We cannot say that the 1991 amendments to that statute and section 316.062, Florida Statutes (Supp.1988), affect our holding in Norstrom....

...In Norstrom the defendant had been read the " Miranda warning," while in the present case Riley was not. This distinction is of questionable significance, however, because Riley was not in custody. We hold that pursuant to the supreme court's decision in Norstrom, and certainly by virtue of the 1991 amendments to sections 316.062 and 316.066, the court must focus upon the question of whether the defendant's constitutional right to be free from self incrimination has been violated....

...involving death or personal injuries.” Under this statute, when a car crash results in the injury or death of “a person,” the driver of a vehicle involved in the crash must stop at the scene and remain there “until he or she has fulfilled the requirements of s. 316.062.” Section 316.062, Florida Statutes (2021), in turn requires the driver to provide identifying information to any injured person and the police, and to render reasonable assistance to any injured person. A driver’s willful violation of section 316.027 is a first, second, or third-degree felony, depending on the severity of the crash victim’s injury. The certified question is as follows: Given the requirements of section 316.062(1), Florida Statutes, does conviction on multiple counts under section 316.027(2), Florida Statutes, stemming from a single crash involving multiple victims, expose a defendant to multiple punishments for one offen...

Section 316.062(1) requires the driver to “render to any person injured in the crash reasonable assistance,” including facilitating their medical care.

We think that this argument gives insufficient weight to section 316.027’s command that the driver stop and remain “until he or she has fulfilled the requirements of section 316.062.” The text shows that the Legislature defined the criminal activity not just in terms of leaving the crash scene, but leaving without first having informed and reasonably assisted each crash victim. Understandably, Johnson...

...The fountainhead of that line of authority is the Fifth District’s decision in Hoag, which interpreted an earlier version of section 316.027. Like the current version, 3 the 1987 version of section 316.027 required the driver to remain at a crash scene “until he has fulfilled the requirements of s. 316.062.” But in 1987 the statute referred generally to “an accident resulting in injury or death of any person,” without making the distinctions present in the current version. Also in contrast to the current version, the 1987 version of...
