Useful Evidence

Vehicle details

Plate, make, model, colour and direction of travel can help identify the driver.

Witnesses

Independent contact information may be important later.

Photos & video

Scene damage, debris, dashcam and nearby security footage can support the claim.

Prompt reporting

Follow ICBC's current hit-and-run claim instructions rather than waiting for more information to appear.

Places Evidence May Exist After the Other Driver Leaves

Dashcams

Your own camera or another nearby vehicle may have captured the plate, vehicle or collision sequence.

Business or building cameras

Nearby footage may be overwritten quickly, so identifying possible cameras early can matter.
