What Makes Hit-and-Run Crashes Challenging to Investigate?
Hit-and-run crashes can present unique challenges because one of the involved vehicles may leave before information can be exchanged. Witness accounts, nearby surveillance footage, vehicle debris, and damage found on a vehicle may help establish what happened. Details about the location and direction of travel can also help identify the sequence of events.
Bicyclists can suffer serious injuries when struck by motor vehicles because they have limited physical protection. Helmets and other protective equipment may reduce some risks, but they cannot prevent every injury. Roadway conditions, visibility, traffic patterns, and vehicle speed can also affect the severity of a bicycle crash.
