Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
If authorities haven't identified the driver involved here, putting out more information to the public could be a big help. Someone might be able to connect dots the authorities couldn't. That way, there can be accountability both for running from the scene and for whatever actions led to the crash in the first place. The more eyes there are on a situation like this, the more likely it sees a just conclusion.
