California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rathjen, H041612 (Cal. App. 2015):
When as here, a defendant causes an accident where multiple victims are injured, and he leaves the scene, he can only be convicted of one count of hit-and-run with injury. (See People v. Calles (2012) 209 Cal.App.4th 1200, 1217-1218; People v. Newton (2007) 155 Cal.App.4th 1000, 1002.)
