Police have at least taken some steps to keep this crash in the public eye, and hopefully they continue to do. The community at large is one of the best tools authorities have for investigating hit-and-runs. Often, someone is able to connect the dots if they know the person who ran from the scene, if they see a vehicle with recent suspicious damage, if they realize they have a camera with a view of the road, etc. With those combined efforts, there may yet be accountability for what happened here and for a family losing their loved one.
