Do The Right Thing. Stay. Help. Take Responsibility.

A hit-and-run is not just a crime, but a devastating act of cowardice leaving victims injured, scared, and sometimes fighting for their lives. If you’re involved in a traffic accident, stop immediately. Call 911. Help those who are hurt.

Remember that fleeing the scene only worsens the situation and carries serious legal consequences, including felony charges. Victims deserve accountability and justice.

If you or someone you know frequently walks near busy roadways, stay alert, wear visible clothing, and use designated crossings whenever possible. If you are injured in a hit-and-run, you may have legal options to help with recovery and medical costs.
