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.

585. Pine Ridge, Pa. June 26. 12-year-old girl struck by a red car which fled the scene; incident prompts community calls for action.

586. Garden Grove, Cal. July 2. 53-year-old man on bicycle suffers head injuries when struck by a small red vehicle which fled the scene.

587. Washington, D.C. July 2. 35-year-old mentor and church volunteer was struck, backed up on and dragged by a white sedan which fled the scene after three passengers he’d just met exited the vehicle. Unbelievably depraved, this one.
