Even if authorities still haven’t found the driver responsible here, there could still be progress to make. A lot of the time, someone in the public knows something that can help authorities find the person responsible. It’s even possible a nearby residence or business caught the incident on camera. Even weeks or months after an accident, there is more than enough reason to follow up and try to get new information. If nothing else, the family affected by the accident deserves to see someone held accountable.
