Hit-and-Run Crashes in Fresno County
Hit-and-run collisions remain a serious problem throughout Fresno County. Incidents like the one on SR-168 near McKinley Avenue are especially dangerous because the injured are often left without immediate aid from all involved parties. This delay can make recovery more difficult and sometimes worsen outcomes for victims.
In many cases, hit-and-run crashes occur because drivers are impaired, unlicensed, or fearful of facing legal consequences. Unfortunately, these choices leave victims suffering physical and financial burdens while the responsible party attempts to escape accountability.
The Fresno Police Department and CHP routinely encourage drivers to stay at the scene of any accident and provide assistance when injuries occur, as required by law. Fleeing not only compounds criminal charges but also leaves victims without critical support.
