The CHP traffic accident investigation unit is leading the inquiry into the case. Authorities have not yet confirmed further details about the driver responsible for fleeing the scene, but the investigation is ongoing.

Locating a Hit-and-Run Driver

Being involved in an accident involving a fleeing driver can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, but there are steps you can take to help locate the driver responsible. Start by gathering as much information as possible from the scene, including the vehicle’s make, model, color, and license plate number, if you can see it. Witnesses can be invaluable, so ask anyone nearby if they saw what happened and can provide details about the vehicle or the driver. It’s also important to document the scene by taking photos of any damage, skid marks, or other evidence that might assist in identifying the vehicle.

Using Auto Insurance to Pay for Expenses if the Driver Cannot Be Found

Suppose you’re injured in an accident, and the Sacramento fleeing driver cannot be identified, such as in the case of a hit-and-run. In that case, you have another option to recover compensation. In that case, your auto insurance policy may provide coverage depending on your plan. Uninsured motorist coverage is designed specifically for such scenarios. It can help cover medical bills, vehicle repairs, and other associated costs when the responsible party is unknown or lacks insurance.
