It’s at least encouraging to know those involved in this incident will see the situation through the criminal system, whatever the ultimate result of that may be. But one thing to keep in mind is these situations aren’t always as simple as one driver versus another. In fact, hit-and-runs can bring up outside factors that require specific steps to address. Alcohol, for example, is a common factor that can actually involve local businesses illegally over-serving customers in addition to the runaway drivers. Have authorities been thorough to consider these other possibilities here?
