In the event of a traffic accident, the driver or other staff member of the vehicle or streetcar involved in the traffic accident (hereinafter referred to in this Section as a "driver, etc.") must immediately stop driving the vehicle or streetcar and take the necessary measures, such as aiding injured persons and preventing road hazards. In such a case, the driver of that vehicle or streetcar (or another staff member, if the death or injury of the driver compels it; the same applies hereinafter in the following paragraph) must report to the police officer, if a police officer is at the scene, or if no police officer is at the scene, immediately to a police officer at the nearest police station (including police booths and police satellite offices; the same applies hereinafter in the following paragraph), the date, time, and place at which the traffic accident occurred, the number of persons killed or injured in the traffic accident and the extent of the injuries of the injured persons, the objects damaged and the extent of the damage, the loads of the vehicles or streetcars involved in the traffic accident, and the measures taken in connection with the traffic accident (referred to as the "particulars of the traffic accident" in Article 75-23, paragraphs (1) and (3)).

On finding it to be necessary to do so in order to aid injured persons or prevent road hazards, a police officer at the nearest police station who receives a report pursuant to the second sentence of the preceding paragraph may order the driver giving the report not to leave the scene until a police officer arrives.

前項後段の規定により報告を受けた最寄りの警察署の警察官は、負傷者を救護し、又は道路における危険を防止するため必要があると認めるときは、当該報告をした運転者に対し、警察官が現場に到着するまで現場を去つてはならない旨を命ずることができる。

In a case as referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, a police officer at the scene may give necessary instructions to the driver or staff member of the vehicle or streetcar in order to aid injured persons, prevent road hazards, or otherwise ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic.

前二項の場合において、現場にある警察官は、当該車両等の運転者等に対し、負傷者を救護し、又は道路における危険を防止し、その他交通の安全と円滑を図るため必要な指示をすることができる。

第七十二条の二

In a case as referred to in paragraph (3) of the preceding Article, if it is found to be difficult for the driver or staff member of a vehicle or streetcar to immediately follow the instructions given pursuant to that paragraph due to injury or another reason, a police officer at the scene may physically move an object damaged in the traffic accident or a load being carried by a vehicle or streetcar involved in the traffic accident (hereinafter referred to in this Article as a "damaged object or load") and take other stop-gap measures, but only so far as is necessary to prevent road traffic hazards and otherwise ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic.
