Recent carjacking incidents have forced the state police to advise drivers to leave the scene directly after the accident to avoid becoming a victim of carjacking.

According to Australian law, drivers involved in car accidents must get out of the car and exchange contact information, the Daily Mail reported. However, as more and more carjackets deliberately smashed the car to lure the victim out of the car, authorities believe it is no longer safe to get off the bus at the scene of the accident.
The state's acting sheriff, Higgins (Dean Higgins), said car drivers should follow a "hunch" to determine the safety of the scene after an accident. Observe the scene before getting out of the car. If you think the scene is unsafe, please drive away.
Higgins advised drivers to call the police first after the accident and go directly to the nearby police station after leaving the scene.
Recently, criminals deliberately caused an accident and then waited for the opportunity to steal the car.

When she got out of the car to check the damage, she was threatened with a gun by two African-American men and ordered her to hand over her car keys. One of the men punched the old woman in the face before she handed over her car keys.
The victim old woman said that the criminal involved in the case was quite cold and ruthless, and she thought she would be shot and stayed up all night after the incident.
