If the police have the right person here, it’s at least encouraging to see the driver facing up to their responsibility. They’ll no doubt have their day in court to answer for their actions. But are those answers going to shed light on why they left the scene? Was it really just panic, or could it be something more seriously like drunk driving led to a young woman losing her life? If nothing else, here loved ones deserve to know the whole story.
