If authorities haven’t located the Silverado that left the scene yet, it might help to put more information out to the public. A lot of the time when a hit-and-run driver is found, it’s because someone in the community came forward after connecting some dots. That can help both to see they’re held accountable for leaving the scene and for any possible reason that led them to leave in the first place, such as drunk driving or warrants. Hopefully authorities are continuing to give this incident the attention it deserves.
