If it's true that there was a truck involved in this that left the scene, were authorities able to get any video of the crash? Releasing images of the truck in question, or even just a description, could be vital in tracking down that driver. That's especially true with commercial trucks, since there could be businesses or workers in the area who crossed paths with that vehicle. The sooner someone can come forward, the sooner the victim's loved ones can continue to search for answers. Just letting a driver leave the scene without any scrutiny isn't going to do any good.
