If it’s true there was another vehicle involved here, do authorities have a description of the vehicle? Generally speaking, there’s a better chance of finding a runaway driver when there are as many public eyes on the details as possible. Someone is often able to connect the dots and come forward with information that help police find that person and see there are appropriate consequences. But if authorities aren’t seeing this crash as a high priority, it may take efforts independent of the authorities to get answers here.
