If it’s true some other reckless driver caused this accident, have authorities continued to look for evidence to try and identify that driver? One thing that could help I see authorities overlook a lot is checking nearby residences or businesses for cameras. A lot of people have security cameras these days, and sometimes they may have video that could help police in their investigations. As obvious a detail as that may seem, a lot of things can slip through the cracks if authorities weren’t thorough or moved on too quickly from their investigations. Circling back around could do some good.
