An ongoing collection of unsolved hit-and-run cases, with a focus on car/pedestrian incidents, from across the country since Jan. ‘010. If you know something about any of these incidents, or one that I’ve missed, do the right thing and call the police, even anonymously. After a respite from keeping the list, it restarted in January 2019, highlighting one case a day. If there’s a case you’ve seen that deserves highlighting, drop me a line at hickey@brianphickey.com.

She’s a single mom. We’ve always had each other, she’s always been my rock and I’ve always been hers,” Lisandra said. “I don’t understand how this person has no conscience, just walking around out here, not even caring that they’ve hit someone.”
