How Did This Accident Occur?

A late night hit-and-run is often a big red flag for drunk driving. People are behind the wheel doing something they know is wrong, so the last thing they want to do is talk to police after hitting someone. Maybe there were other factors involved here, but that all depends on finding the driver and getting more information. Hopefully authorities can release more information to the public so someone can help them connect the dots. I wonder if they’ve checked nearby homes or businesses for camera video. A lot of folks have doorbell cameras and security systems these days. The footage often gets deleted automatically, so canvassing the neighborhood as soon as possible could help.
