Commentary:
In my experience researching crashes of all kinds, hit-and-run accidents are committed historically by two groups of people. Either the driver was simply gripped with fear, and drove off, but these folks are usually the ones who come back moments later to accept responsibility after talking to a family member, or the authorities. The other group usually has something to hide, or a reason to run, and most of the reasons involve avoiding contact with law enforcement, be it for warrants or intoxication. Either way, once the driver is found, there whereabouts can be established for the time before the accident.
