A recent incident in Asheville serves as testimony to the fact that a hit-and-run auto accident need not end with the perpetrator forever remaining anonymous. Within two days of police asking for help from the public in locating a hit-and-run auto accident driver, an arrest was made. The auto accident occurred in Biltmore Park where a family was crossing the street. An Acura jumped a curb hitting one of the family members.
Though the driver fled the scene of the auto accident, witnesses got a description of his car and were able to note a part of the vehicle’s license plate. The injured man was transported to the hospital for treatment. And, Asheville Police asked for help from anyone who might have information regarding the accident. In less than 48 hours, the police had received the assistance that they’d asked for, and an arrest had been made. The driver was charged with driving with a revoked license and felony hit and run with a serious injury.
