Hit-and-run accidents pose unique dangers and challenges for victims, as the fleeing driver’s failure to remain at the scene can delay emergency response and complicate insurance or legal proceedings. In Arkansas, such incidents often occur on busy roadways like Vimy Ridge Rd, where a mix of local and through traffic increases the risk of collisions.
