Commentary on Abraham Banda Pena Hit-and-run Accident in Houston
It's just tragic how many accidents like this are in the news--many of them just out of Houston. A crucial step toward making things right can simply be circulating these details in the public as much as possible. There could be a nearby business that caught the accident on video or a witness the police weren't able to contact. There are even times that reports lead the drivers themselves to come forward. I still maintain hope that continued vigilance from the community will see justice done for this man's loved ones. Then, they can finally get answers about what exactly happened here.
