Anytime a vehicle leaves the scene of an accident, it’s important for authorities to make as much information public as possible. Someone may be able to connect some dots that authorities have yet to consider. Many hit-and-runs reach a conclusion because of those efforts, following which steps can finally be taken to get the victim’s loved ones the closure they deserve. My hope is that authorities don’t move on without truly giving this accident the attention it deserves.
