How Did This Accident Occur?

Hit-and-run crashes like this are often difficult to investigate because key components such as the suspect vehicle and driver are not available for authorities to scrutinize.

In this instance, authorities have access to the vehicle so they’ll be able to download information from its engine control module, but without the driver it will be hard to know if fatigue or impairment played a role.

Investigators will rely on witness statements and any available traffic or security camera footage to track down the driver. That information also can help them piece together events that led to the crash.
