Ask Officer Michelle – Question #70
Posted by lallen44
Michelle,
A coworker witnessed and reported the license plate of a hit and run driver yesterday afternoon at Folsom blvd and Jackson hwy. We read in the Bee that a passenger died in the accident. Can you tell us if the driver that took off was apprehended? Do you know the condition of the driver of the vehicle that was hit? Thanks for any help you can provide.
