Hit-and-Run Crashes in Indiana
Crashes involving hit-and-run drivers, especially those that cause injuries, remain a growing concern throughout Indiana. In urban areas like Fort Wayne, where intersections like W Washington Blvd and Fairfield Ave experience heavy vehicle and pedestrian activity, the danger is especially high.
When a driver leaves the scene of a crash, it creates additional risk for victims who may require urgent medical attention. Delayed care, confusion, and lack of accountability are common outcomes of these situations. Indiana law treats hit-and-run crashes that result in injuries as serious offenses, and those responsible may face felony charges if located.
Preventing these incidents begins with driver accountability, vigilance, and compliance with traffic laws. But when a hit-and-run does occur, victims often face a complex road to recovery—physically, emotionally, and legally.
