Description
Defendant was convicted of failing to stop after being involved in an accident resulting in personal injuries. Defendant was
traveling south in a northbound lane on a four-lane highway. He struck a northbound motorcycle and injured the driver. He
then proceeded south a short distance, turned around, and while northbound, passed the scene of the accident. He did not stop
at any time. We affirm the judgment of the district court as herein modified. The license number of the automobile involved in the accident was obtained at the scene by a witness. It proved to be defendant's.
Another witness positively identified defendant as the driver of the car which struck the motorcycle and the make and model
of the car. A piece of chrome found at the scene appeared similar to a piece missing from defendant's automobile. The evidence
of involvement in the accident and of a failure to stop seems conclusive. As a defense, defendant maintained that he was afflicted
with hypertension and high blood pressure which caused him to black out on occasion. He says he was suffering from such an
attack at the time of the accident, was unaware of the accident, and has no recollection of it.
