1 killed, 4 hurt in Lake Worth, Fla.
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.
NOTE: The July entries will be of an abbreviated format as I’m on quasi-sabbatical from the site for the month. This doesn’t mean these cases should be taken any less seriously.
