With hit-and-runs, one of the most important steps authorities can take is to release more information to the public. Often, someone in the community is able to connect the dots and come up with news details that may help lead authorities to a name or even an arrest. That’s why my hope is authorities continue to give this crash the attention it deserves and that they didn’t simply move on without taking steps to see a runaway driver brought to justice.
