Hit-and-run incidents on major highways are often hard to investigate, as the vehicles typically flee the scene rapidly and road conditions can change within minutes. Investigators typically start by examining damage patterns and road evidence to reconstruct how the accident happened. Physical clues like shattered glass, paint transfers, or scattered vehicle debris can help identify the types of vehicles involved.
