A man was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Friday night on Cleveland Avenue near the Lone Goose Saloon in Huntsville. “The victim was transported to the hospital where (he) later died,” Huntsville police Lt. Stacy Bates said. The crash, which occurred at around 10:30 p.m. Friday, involved an unknown vehicle. The victim’s name hasn’t been released pending notification of family.
Legal Analysis: Hit and run accidents can create legal issues. First of all, the person who ran from the scene may have a criminal case against them for leaving the scene of an accident. The person who was hit in the accident will have a legal action against the driver who left the scene for injuries as well as pain and suffering from the accident.
The person who left the scene of the accident can have more severe civil liability because he or she left the scene of the accident. Oftentimes, the person who left the scene is avoiding police confrontation because they were either drunk, did not have proper licenses, or insurance issues. Further, they may know that they were at fault and left the scene out of fear.
