How Did This Accident Occur?

A pedestrian accident can often involve either pedestrians failing to yield or drivers not paying attention to the road. I can’t say what exactly happened here, but drivers don’t often flee an accident scene after doing nothing wrong. It would surprise me if that proved true here, but it’s important to find the driver and get answers before jumping to conclusions. If it hasn’t happened already, hopefully someone can come forward and provide new details authorities can use to complete their investigations and work toward accountability for the accident.
