Although automobile collisions occur each and every day, it is a shocking event when it happens to you. Whether you are driving on a busy highway, city road or open country road, negligent drivers are all over the place. What is already a shocking event could take an even more alarming turn. The motorist that caused the crash decides to flee the scene. This leaves an accident victim harmed and without a person to assign accountability to.
This is what recently occurred in collision that occurred in Davidson County. Based on reports, the North Carolina Highway Patrol responded to a hit-and-run crash on Old U.S. 52. The accident involved two vehicles traveling northbound. Investigators believe the accident happened when a Dodge Charger crashed into a white van.
