Commentary:
Hit-and-run’s can be horrible affairs to begin with, but whenever a driver is apprehended, options for victims open up considerably. In this case, considering the driver of the offending van was unlicensed at the time of the accident, whoever gave her the keys to a vehicle could be liable for the accident under negligent instrument. Any time somebody gives somebody the keys to an ATV or motorcycle, and knows that person is either unqualified, or unlicensed, the owner can be held responsible for any damage that person causes in an accident.
