Commentary on Bicycle Hit-and-run Accident on US 77 in Waxahachie
It's just awful to see something like this happen. Obviously, finding a runaway driver should be a priority. That's why simply keeping these reports in the public eye can be a crucial step forward. Even after all this time, someone may be able to connect the dots and do the right thing. I've seen crashes take as long as 6 months or even more than a year come to a conclusion because someone saw details that led them to come forward to authorities. Are steps still being taken to work toward getting some answers for this awful event?
