Q. I left the scene of an accident due to my wife's medical health emergency. Now the FL police are calling for for me

A: I would say NOTHING whatsoever to them and immediately hire an experienced criminal/traffic lawyer that can help you assemble documents to provide to the police officer. That may help the officer in determining that you had a legitimate reason for leaving the scene. Maybe the officer would ultimately cite you with the non moving violation under Florida statute 316.062.
