Dallas, TX (February 22, 2023) – On Monday, February 20, four people were injured after being involved in a hit-and-run crash in the Dallas area.
The incident took place at the corner of Brookriver Drive and Mockingbird Lane at around 7:37 a.m. The four victims had reportedly been involved in a separate accident when they were standing outside of their vehicles. The driver of a Kia Soul reportedly tried to avoid the initial crash when they hit the four bystanders.
The at-fault driver fled the scene on foot. All four victims were hospitalized and are expected to recover. The runaway motorist is expected to face charges once he is apprehended.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Hit-&-Run Accidents in Texas
Seeing the driver depart the site of the accident is, sadly, not all that unusual and is the only thing more enraging than being in an accident that was not your fault. Almost 5% of traffic deaths were the result of hit-and-runs, and each year, the rate of hit-and-runs increased by nearly 7.2%. You should contact a lawyer if you were hurt by a driver who fled the scene of the accident.
It is important to get early medical assistance after a car accident, both for your own health and safety and to document any physical injuries you may have sustained. Severe burn injuries, limb loss, internal injuries, organ damage, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, scarring, and post-traumatic stress disorder are among the significant and potentially fatal injuries that result from car accidents. Any of these injuries may result in an impairment that is short-term, long-term, or permanent.
