My hope is authorities looking for another vehicle here is a sign they’re actually giving this incident the attention it deserves. Too often, I’ve had pedestrian accident cases where authorities all but moved on as soon as they could regardless of whether or not they’d finished their investigations. Perhaps authorities haven’t been productive behind the scenes, but these initial statements at least provide some encouragement that someone is working to get answers here.
