Right now, there hasn’t been any word on whether authorities identified the runaway driver. If they keep putting details out to the public, that could to ensure they find someone if they haven’t already. Hit-and-runs are often brought to a close because someone in the community connects the dots and comes forward. That could be a neighbor, a co-worker, an acquaintance, or even a family member. Doing that can help authorities see there are consequences for the driver fleeing and for whatever reason they didn’t want to speak to authorities in the first place. Is there more to this story that the public needs to know?
