Yes. they use the department's official spirit phone line to contact them. The family who charged the person must sign consent forms though, because they may not want to disturb the dead family members.

What happens if you are hit in a car accident and you are rear end by someone and you have no license?
Not enough information to determine whether the other driver was at fault for the collision or not. Did you run a red light or a stop sign? Drive inattentively? Cut them off in traffic? Etc? If the investigation shows that the other vehicle WAS at fault in the collision, they will probably be charged with the appropriate offense. As for you; you will be charged with whatever traffic offense you might have committed (if any), if it is YOU that is found at fault. In addition you will be charged for operating without a license and subject to whatever penalty your state prescribes for that paraticular offense.
