Though investigations are still being conducted, officials are suspicious that alcohol may have been a factor involved in the motorcycle hit-and-run, and the motorcyclist will be taken into custody once he is released from the hospital.
All parties involved in an accident are required to pull over immediately and fleeing the scene of a crash is illegal. The injuries that ensued from this particular accident make it all the more tragic.
