How Did This Accident Occur?

In terms of how this happened, there are virtually countless possible reasons. In my experience, though, drivers tend to flee accident scenes due to things like drunk driving, drugs, or because they have warrants. It might take locating the driver to find out for sure. To that end, it’s at least encouraging authorities are looking for video, since that can provide crucial information. But even just continuing to put out statements in the news can be helpful. Given where this happened, I am skeptical that there isn’t at least some witness out there who might know something helpful. By putting more information out in the news, someone may be able to connect the dots or decide to come forward and help authorities get answers and ultimately accountability for the victim and for his family.

If anyone thinks they might know something helpful, leave a comment.
