Understanding Hit-and-Run Crashes
A hit-and-run crash occurs when a driver involved in a collision leaves without stopping to address the incident. These crashes can involve vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, or other road users.
People who witness a crash may be able to provide useful information about the vehicle, driver, or direction of travel. Bicyclists can also reduce their exposure to traffic by using designated bicycle facilities and remaining visible to nearby drivers.
