California Vehicle Code 20001 VC makes the crime of hit and run a "felony" if the other party was injured or killed. If the accident caused mere property damage, but no injuries, then the charge can only be a misdemeanor under Vehicle Code 20002.
For the charge to be a felony under Vehicle Code 20001 VC, the injuries must be to a third party-usually a driver or passenger in the other vehicle, or a pedestrian. If the only person injured was the driver who fled the scene of the accident, then felony hit and run may not be charged.
