According to reports, the vehicle operator failed to remain at the scene following the collision, but witnesses managed to capture the license plate information of the fleeing car.
can you imagine dat
The fact that the driver didn’t even stop is sickening. That’s not just illegal, it’s inhumane. I hope justice is swift and firm.
Every year we have something like that. Reminded me of Simon. May his soul RIP. I hope this rider pulls through
You mean you hit the person child and drive off? You can never see good
This is how they killed Andre Simon, leaving his son fatherless! You hit someone and drove off? How heartless! In Andre’s case i heard that the driver hit someone and attempted to flee when he then run into Andre and some others. Yall are so ridiculous now and heartless
I hope they find the driver and take away his license forever! None sense drivers
