Car accident damages

[umar_italy]

A brother, while in a hurry and driving the father's car (not his own), clashed with a parked car, in a very distant city from the one in which he resides in.

Out of fear, he dashed off, but later realized what he did, and regretted of not having written his personal data for the assicuration.

Now, he returned in his city (hundreds and hundreds of kms away), and his father (who instead lives in the city in which happened the accident) refused to trying to search for the damaged car.

So, now it's virtually impossible to contact the damaged car, we think. Calling the police??

What should he do now to repent, if one of the conditions of repenting is to compensate the damaged one for for the damage?

Could he "simply" give in sadaqa an esteemed amount of the damage?

There are a number of ways to track the owner of the vehicle.
He could contact the police or place on notice in a newspaper in that city etc.

If all else fails, he could give an amount in sadaqah on behalf of the owner of that vehicle.

and Allah Ta'ala knows best
