If the allegations here are true, did authorities ever look into why this driver fled the scene? It’s rarely just panic about the accident. It’s more often something else they don’t want authorities to know about. It could be warrants, drugs, drunk driving, etc. At the end of the day, blame for a crash is just one aspect of an accident investigation. There could be other factors that call for consequences which simple hit-and-run charges might not address.
