Billy Thomas sustained serious injuries due to the accident. Authorities say that the pickup driver left the scene, but details suggest they identified that driver. It’s unclear if charges have been filed.

If it’s true that this was a hit-and-run, then it’s at least encouraging authorities say they know who was behind the wheel. But even if that person faces consequences for leaving the scene, did authorities find out why they left the scene? Sometimes, it’s to hide something specific, like warrants, drugs, or drunk driving. Accountability means ensuring there are consequences for all of those actions, so it’s possible there’s a lot more to this story than preliminary reports suggest.
