But there can be only one conviction for leaving the scene of an accident. (People v. Newton (2007) 155 Cal.App.4th 1000, 1002, 66 Cal.Rptr.3d 422.) Upon remand, the trial court is to select one leaving the scene of the accident count and consider defendant's sentence for that crime, including whether any sentence term should be imposed consecutively or concurrently. The trial court should dismiss the remaining two leaving the scene of the accident counts pursuant to section 1385, subdivision (a).
