In these situations, it usually turns out the runaway driver had something specific to hide from authorities. Were they drunk? In a stolen vehicle? Did they have warrants? It’s important those people are brought to answer for their mistakes, especially when people get hurt. Hopefully authorities have been working with locals who may yet come forward with important information that can lead to the runaway driver’s identity.
