Commentary on Larry Allen Alleged Hit-and-run Accident in Harris County
It's not my place to determine if criminal allegations are true or not. It's simply a good sign to see that there is at least some progress for an accident where someone supposedly left the scene. However, these charges might not be the end of the line even of the allegations prove to be true. Sometimes, an accident like this can involve other factors victims and families need to know about. That's why it's important to find out why a driver left the scene. Some common factors, such as drunk driving, can present unique legal avenues to get people some much needed help which they wouldn't otherwise have access to. Is that something authorities overlooked here? Perhaps more thorough investigations would show that there's more to this story than initial reports suggest.
