Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
If the details here are true, then one can't help wondering why the other driver here would have been fleeing a previous crash scene. Generally speaking, it's not all that common for drivers to flee simply out of panic. There's usually something specific they're trying to hide from authorities, such as warrants, drugs, or drunk driving. Could that be true here, as well?
One way or another, the decisions leading up to this collision resulted in the death of a kid who barely got their life started. I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with the fact that warrants as thorough investigations as possible to find out why all of this happened and what may come next for those involved.
