If the collision involves a parked vehicle, you need to:

1) try to find the owner, or leave a note with the time and date telling the owner how to reach you.
2) Stay at the scene until the owner returns.
3) Call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed away.
4) Leave your name and address with the nearest county courthouse.

Final answer:

If the collision involves a parked vehicle, you need to try to find the owner or leave a note with your contact information. Stay at the scene until the owner returns. You generally do not need to call a tow truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the collision involves a parked vehicle, there are certain steps you need to take:

  1. Try to find the owner of the vehicle. If you cannot find the owner, leave a note with your contact information, including your name and phone number, as well as the time and date of the collision. This will allow the owner to reach out to you.
  2. Stay at the scene until the owner returns, in case they have any questions or need to exchange information with you.
  3. Unless there is an immediate danger or obstruction caused by the parked vehicle, you typically do not need to call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed away. It is the owner's responsibility to handle any necessary towing.

Leaving your name and address with the nearest county courthouse is not usually necessary in a collision involving a parked vehicle. However, if a law enforcement officer arrives at the scene, they may ask for your identification and contact information.
