Considering how few details authorities seem to have, I would hope they’d put this crash in the public eye more than they seem to have. As remote a chance as it may seem, the community is one of the most useful tools to resolving hit-and-runs. Someone is often able to connect the dots and help authorities identify someone. I don’t see why authorities would neglect to do that here, so I can only hope they’re continuing to try and get some answers for the victim’s loved ones.
