Hello all,
I had gone out with my car for a drive and got stuck in a dead end. The lane was very narrow and while reversing I hit a newly constructed wall and broke it. Two persons came out and I asked whose property it was. They said they will inform the owner and asked me to wait. While waiting I thought I will park the car properly. It was a slope area so when I turned the car and tried to park it was sliding down. Instead of applying the hand break I thought I will park it in a plane area so it will be easier to start later. But while I was searching a plane area I took a turn and fell in a ditch. Finally some people rescued the car and a gentleman drove me back home. I was too jittery after falling in the ditch to drive it back again to the place where I broke the wall. I had to depend on this gentleman to drop me and I was feeling awkward to tell him that I already had an accident. Now the question is what is my liability in this case - I don't know the exact location where I broke the wall. Will it be a hit and run? My number plate also broke. The piece may still be lying there.
Please help.
