Let's say that I'm in an car accident in which the driver of the other vehicle is injured. I originally stop to render aid and do what little I can to help the other driver, but they appear to have suffered serious injury and I'm afraid to attempt to render further aid for fear I may cause more harm then good.
The accident happened in the middle of the night on a remote mountain road where there are no witnesses, and I currently don't have cell phone reception. If I were to get into my vehicle and drive away in hopes of finding either an residence with a landline or a location where I have sufficient reception to call for an ambulance would I still be guilty of fleeing the scene?
Would it matter that I first stopped to render aid before leaving? Would it matter rather or not I return to the original scene of the accident after call for help?
I'm looking for US perspective. I'm in Maryland if specific jurisdiction matters.
