The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting
in the injury or death of any person or property damage to an apparent
total extent of $25 or more shall within 24 hours make a full and
complete report in writing of such accident to the police headquarters
in this Town. A driver who has been incapacitated as the result of
such accident and to such extent as to make reporting impossible or
unfavorable to his recovery shall not be required to report such accident
until he has recovered sufficiently to be able to do so. The report
shall be made on a form furnished by the Police Department, copies
of which shall be available at the police station. Compliance with
this section, however, shall not relieve such driver from the additional
responsibility of reporting to the Registry of Motor Vehicles any
accident in which a person is killed or injured.
If any vehicle is found upon any street or highway in violation
of any provisions of these rules and orders and the identity of the
driver cannot be determined, the owner or the person in whose name
such vehicle is registered shall be held prima facie responsible for
such violations.
