Following any hit-and-run, one of the best things authorities can do is keep the information in the public eye as much as possible. Often, someone in the community is able to come forward and help connect the dots. They may know the person, they may see a vehicle show up with fresh damage, they may live nearby and have a security camera with a view of the roadway, etc. With help from the public, there’s hope authorities can identify the runaway driver, hold them accountable for leaving the scene, and find out what it was that led them to flee in the first place.
