Usually when authorities have a driver’s vehicle in their custody, it’s just a matter of time before the driver is found. Hopefully progress was made behind the scenes to resolve this matter. I’ve seen hit-and-runs go for quite a while without being solved, but I’ve also seen cases considered to be cold resolved because the victims and families involved never gave up trying to put things right.
