A: There needs to be more facts to answer your question accurately. Did the driver deliberately hit the person? Was he drunk/stoned? Was the suspension a result of an offense or infraction? If it was an accident only then there would be no criminal charges for driving while suspended. However, if the driver or anyone else gave false information to the police during the investigation, then they would have committed false informing.
