Hit-and-run accidents pose a serious risk to public safety and often leave victims without immediate assistance. Busy roads like E Independence Blvd experience a high volume of traffic, making collisions more likely.

According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, thousands of hit-and-run crashes occur across the state each year, with many resulting in injuries or fatalities. Law enforcement agencies work diligently to track down drivers responsible for these incidents, but investigations can take time.
