Once arriving at the accident, first responders administered medical care for injuries that one victim had sustained in the crash.

Car Accidents and Injuries
A hit-and-run accident can be a devastating event in a victim’s life. While all accidents put other people at risk, a hit-and-run accident can leave victims behind to suffer from injuries and not receive the emergency care they need. Drivers who are involved in accidents and then leave the scene are acting in a criminal matter. Victims do not deserve to be treated so carelessly, and they can seek to recover their losses when these accidents occur.
It can be difficult to understand why people choose to act recklessly and carelessly when behind the wheel. Hit-and-run drivers are putting other people at risk, and they could be leaving victims behind to suffer. Fleeing the scene of an accident is a serious thing to do, and it is also a criminal activity. Victims who are harmed in these collisions can seek to recover their rights so they can focus on healing from their injuries and returning to their lives as normal.
