Why Can Hit-and-Run Crashes Involving Children Be Especially Serious?
Children are smaller and more physically vulnerable than adults, so a vehicle impact can cause significant injuries even at relatively low speeds.
When a driver leaves the scene, emergency response may depend on witnesses or family members calling for help. Investigators may also have limited initial information about the vehicle involved.
Vehicle speed, impact angle, lighting, roadway layout, and the child’s position can all affect injury severity. Hit-and-run cases can also require additional investigative work to identify the vehicle and driver involved.
