There were an estimated 737,100 hit-and-run crashes in 2015 (NHTSA, 2016). This translates to a hit-and-run crash happening somewhere in the U.S. every 43 seconds.\u201d There are many ways that a driver may act negligently prior to a crash.A driver may have been operating at an unsafe speed.A driver may have been intoxicated after taking some substance.A driver may have failed to properly scan the road ahead of them.Drivers are supposed to scan the road ahead of them for hazards and take reasonable precautions to avoid colliding with any pedestrian.
