SAN ANTONIO, TX — A serious accident left one person hurt in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, March 29th, 2014, according to the news article from My San Antonio.
Investigators have reason to believe one person was hurt when the bike he was riding was struck by an SUV while driving on South Presa Street around 11:15 Saturday evening. The SUV fled the scene after the accident.
Scene of the Accident:
One person sustained unspecified injuries in the accident.
Authorities are currently looking for a black Ford Explorer Sport Trac with a Harley-Davidson sticker on the back window.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
Commentary:
People leave the scene of accidents for many reasons. Sometimes they are hit with an initial, overwhelming panic and the fight-or-flight response kicks in, and they drive away, only to return soon after the accident to take responsibility. The other reason people tend to run is they have something to hide, and judging by the late hour at which this occurred on a Saturday night, there is a high likelihood that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Many people believe this would be a dead end, but if the driver was found, and officers find a big bar tab on his purchases for that night, the bar he was at could bear some liability for the accident if the driver was over served. I strongly believe that punishing bars that fuel drunk drivers, while punishing the drunk driver themselves is the only way to responsibly address the drunk driving problem in the State of Texas.
