If authorities have yet to locate the other driver involved in this, it might help if they put out more information to the public. A lot of time, someone is able to connect the dots and help authorities get a name. It certainly wouldn't hurt to try everything possible to ensure there is accountability or at least some answers about what happened here. The victim's loved ones deserve nothing less.
