If authorities still have not located the runaway driver, it might help if they have more information to give to the public. One of the most helpful tools authorities have at their disposal is the community. A lot of the time, runaway drivers get caught because a friend, co-worker, neighbor, repair shop worker, or even family member comes forward to connect the dots. Once that happens, steps can be taken to see there’s accountability both for that driver leaving the scene and for whatever may have led them to flee in the first place.
