AI Summary
This bill creates the offense of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident after causing serious bodily injury. Specifically, it amends existing Massachusetts law to punish anyone who operates a vehicle, collides with or otherwise injures another person resulting in serious bodily injury, and then leaves the scene without providing their name, residence, and vehicle registration number. The punishment for this offense is imprisonment in state prison for up to 5 years, or in a jail or house of correction for 6 months to 2.5 years, and a fine of $500 to $1,000. The term "serious bodily injury" is defined by reference to another section of the state's vehicle laws.
