After a hit-and-run, one of the most important things authorities can do is keep the details in the public eye as much as possible. If they’re not able to identify someone on their own, someone in the community is usually able to connect the dots. It’s possible that’s already happened behind the scenes, but then that brings up another concern: Why did the driver leave the scene? It’s possible they wanted to hide something specific, such as warrants or drunk driving. Accountability may be more than just seeing there are consequences for the hit and run itself. There could be more to this story that requires more thorough investigations.
