UPDATE (October 10, 2024): Further information from authorities identified the man killed in the accident as 63-year-old Jose Luis Rocha. 62-year-old Lorena Gonzalez Rocha was injured in the accident. While no charges or citations have been reported, details suggest authorities identified the vehicle involved in the accident. Usually, that means authorities are able to identify and eventually hold accountable a runaway driver. But that still leaves the matter of finding out why they fled in the first place and whether or not there are additional mistakes that require consequences. Hopefully investigations are still ongoing.

Police say they have yet to locate the runaway vehicle. Hopefully they can keep up pressure in the public eye. Oftentimes, someone in the community is able to connect the dots and help authorities identify the suspect. Once that happens, they can find out why the driver fled and what consequences will be appropriate for the accident and for whatever led them to flee responsibility.
