Legal Question
Can I be charged with a DUI after an accident when not talking to any police at the scene? We crashed into a tree in the mountains. We left the scene when someone picked us up. We left because there was no cell phone service, it was pitch dark on a dangerous turn, and we felt we might need to call an ambulance for someone. Once we got out of the area to a near house I called 911. Then I went back to the car to get my license/wallet and the injured persons insurance card/purse. I went straight to the hospital from there to find the injured. Later, people said they saw me drinking that night. I was never breathalyzed or given a blood test. Can I be charged with a DUI?
