If authorities weren’t able to make progress with this accident, it would likely help if they could release more information to the public. A lot of the time hit-and-run drivers get caught, it’s because someone in the community or someone who personally knows the suspect sees something in the news and connects the dots. That helps to ensure not just accountability for the accident but possibly for things that driver may have been hiding from authorities to begin with. Even months after an accident, putting more information in the public eye can yield results.
