I hope authorities are able to provide more public information about this accident. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding this accident, it’s unacceptable to leave the scene. It even raises concerns that driver may have had something specific they didn’t want authorities to know about, such as drunk driving or warrants. If nothing else, the victim’s loved ones deserve to some closure. The more information authorities release to the public, the better the chances someone is able to connect the dots and provide some answers.
