Hopefully it's true that authorities know who all was involved here. That way, if someone did indeed leave the scene, they can be held accountable. But that may require more than just consequences for leaving the scene. It's important that authorities know why someone fled the scene. There's usually something specific they wanted to hide from authorities.
For example, I've handled many accidents where drivers left the scene due to drunk driving. That can lead to the driver facing even more consequences, and it can also lead to an investigation into a local alcohol provider if an establishment unlawfully over-served the driver, as that can make the establishment complicit in the crash itself.
It's not clear if anything like that happened here, but people deserve to know they're getting the whole story, and they desereve to know there will be appropriate consequences for all parties who contributed to the crash.
