Hopefully authorities can give more information to the public about the suspect driver involved in this accident. A lot of times, runaway drivers can be found when someone in the community connects the dots and goes to authorities with new information. That way, authorities can find out why the driver fled and whether or not there may be other mistakes that driver needs to be held accountable for. Continued efforts may still result in a just resolution to all of this.
