What Happens After a Hit-and-Run Crash?
A hit-and-run collision can make an investigation more difficult because authorities may need to identify a vehicle and driver who left the scene. Investigators can use vehicle descriptions, witness statements, roadway evidence, and available surveillance or dashcam footage to determine what happened.
In this incident, the initial report indicated that a witness may have had a view of a vehicle parked on the offramp. Debris was also reported in the travel lanes, which can provide investigators with additional evidence.
Drivers who witness a crash or have relevant video footage can potentially assist authorities in identifying the vehicle involved. Anyone approaching a crash scene should also slow down and remain alert for emergency vehicles, disabled cars, and debris in the roadway.
