It’s illegal to flee the scene of an accident. In the United States, a hit-and-run accident happens every day. More than 2,000 people have died in hit-and-run incidents in the United States since 2006.

There have been more hit-and-run accidents lately. Since 2009, hit-and-run drivers have been responsible for 7% more fatalities. People are dying in more accidents, and hit-and-run drivers are a significant factor in this upward trend.
