Terrible! So very sorry for your loss and all your family is going through. I can't imagine.
We've had a couple hit-and-runs around here recently and both times the drivers panicked. They later came forward due to guilt, but the negligence on their part and the consequences can never be changed.
My instinct here, particularly given the time of day, is that the driver was impaired. Probably doesn't even know what they did. I hope they suffer.

So sorry for your loss Carl. My condolences and prayers for all your family. I'm sure there will be a lot of justified anger over this senseless loss of life, but hopefully you all will also be able to celebrate the gifts of his life as you mourn his death and lay him to rest.

My condolences, Carl. How awful...
I would remain hopeful that they may catch whoever did it. I know in many cases we've had here, either people end up turning themselves in after the sober up and realize what they did, or talk about it and someone else turns them in, or tries to get the car repaired and get turned in. I would also guess within the next few days, they will pull surveillance footage from local businesses that may have caught it on tape. Not that it makes it any easier...

Carl, I'm so sorry for the loss of your cousin. I don't know how anybody could not stop after hitting somebody unless, like others have said, they were impaired and didn't even realize it. If the impact was enough to kill him hopefully the vehicle has enough damage to it and this person gets caught. (((Hugs))) |

I am so sorry, C. Around here, if the driver doesn't stop, it usually means they were drunk, or they have an outstanding warrant for their arrest. Still 'tho, no excuse for not stopping & trying to help.  I purposefully avoid driving after about 10pm and not before 5:30am because I believe there are many, many impaired drivers. I know it's not fair or right but there's just not enough police on the street to catch these jerks. I'm so sorry for your loss Carl. |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Did someone see it happen? If they know it happened at 4:42 - that is pretty specific. Maybe someone saw the car.
There were two fatal hit and runs around here where they ended up catching both the people. In both cases, someone saw it happen and gave a description of the car. They just kept looking for cars that matched the descriptions that were in the shop for repairs. One of the guys was a catholic priest. I guess even a man of the cloth can be a drunk douchebag.

Thank you everyone... Appreciate the thoughts and prayers.
Funerals are scheduled for the following Saturday (08/03).
The only solace is that the doctor said his injuries were so bad that if he had survived his quality of life would have a poor one. Weird; never thought I would be grateful that a loved one did not survive an accident but yet we are all thankful for that small little consolation in this whole tragedy.
