With not much information available here, I have to wonder what steps authorities are taking behind the scenes to investigate this accident. One of the best tools authorities have after a hit-and-run is the public. Someone is often able to come forward with new information. Maybe they know the person involved. Maybe they see a matching vehicle. Maybe they realize they have a security camera along this stretch of road that may have seen the moments before, during, or after the accident.
If authorities here aren’t dedicated to giving this accident attention, it’s only going to result in important details slipping through the cracks. Maintaining pressure and keeping a vigilant eye, in my experience, is the best way to ensure there is closure to a hit-and-run like this one.
