One thing that isn’t clear is why this alleged hit-and-run driver left the scene. It’s rarely due to simple panic about the accident itself. More often than not, there’s something they didn’t want police to find out about, such as warrants, drugs, or drunk driving. With that potential added legal complexity, it’s important facts are clear so that all aspects surrounding the accident can be addressed, and there can be full accountability for what happened.
