I would hope to see authorities continue releasing information about this accident. More often than not, getting details out into the public is a valuable tool for catching runaway drivers. Someone is usually able to connect the dots and come forward with new details. Once that happens, steps can be taken to ensure there are consequences for the accident and potentially whatever caused the driver to flee in the first place.
