What Happens After a Pedestrian Hit-and-Run?
A pedestrian hit-and-run occurs when a driver leaves after striking someone on foot. These crashes can make it difficult to identify the vehicle and determine exactly what happened.
Investigators may examine nearby surveillance footage, traffic cameras, witness accounts, and physical evidence left behind by the vehicle. Information about the vehicle’s make, model, color, or direction of travel can also help narrow the search.
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable because they have little physical protection from moving vehicles. Drivers should stay alert around sidewalks, crossings, businesses, and residential streets. Lower speeds give drivers more time to notice a person in or near the roadway and take evasive action.
