Pedestrian accidents, especially hit-and-run incidents, pose significant dangers, often leading to severe or fatal injuries. In high-traffic areas like Route 1 and Buckman Road, visibility issues, reckless driving, and failure to yield can all contribute to serious collisions.
When a driver flees the scene, it not only delays critical medical assistance but also complicates the legal process for victims and their families. Law enforcement works diligently to identify and apprehend hit-and-run drivers, but the aftermath can be overwhelming for those affected.
