Probably, yes. This answer will discuss two situations related to accidents: 1) if you were involved in the accident and 2) if you just happen to come upon the scene of an accident that already happened.

1) Involved in Accident (Hit & Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident - Minnesota Statute 169.09, Accidents).The driver of any motor vehicle involved in an accident ... shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident, or as close to the scene as possible but shall then return to and in every event shall remain at the scene of the accident, until the driver has fulfilled the requirements of this section as to the giving of information. The stop must be made without unnecessarily obstructing traffic.

2) Discovering an Accident (Good Samaritan Statute - Minnesota Statute 171.50, Driver License Compact).

A driver can have his or her license suspended for "failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another." -- Article IV, Section (a)(4)

As with any legal issue, it is best for you to contact an attorney who understands the laws related to your specific issue.
