Hit-and-Run America, Vol. XCIII

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.

583. Kansas City, Mo. June 29. 66-year-old woman critically injured (life-threatening injuries) after being struck by a “silver or gray late ‘80s pickup truck driven by a 40 to 50-year-old white female [which] fled the scene after the accident.”

584. Edinboro, Pa. June 29. 37-year-old man injured when struck by a dark (possibly red) four-door sedan which didn’t stay at the scene.

And finally — more on this later when I’ve had time to track down info — but it sounds like Temple drop-out/hit-and-run extraordinaire Nick Hasselback has changed representation from Andrew Gay Jr. (chronicled extensively on this site) to a public defender. Odd to pull the poor card, considering I’ve heard tales of Nicky Poo’s old East Falls apartment being cash-laden enough to draw a trio of shotgun toting robbers. And that they had enough cash not only to get him out on a five-figured bail while retaining an additional few lawyers just in case. Infuriating that he and his family are enough of a fucking weasel to expect public dollars to represent someone who wasn’t raised effectively enough to have the compassion to just stop when he nearly killed someone. Everything that’s wrong with the world, rolled up under one suburban roof.
