In deadly pedestrian accidents involving a driver who escapes the scene, the Hit-and-Run Statute is the main law being examined. Drivers involved in accidents that result in injury or death must stop, provide their identification, and offer assistance. Fleeing the scene of this kind of accident is a serious crime. Since the victim was in a designated crosswalk, the Pedestrian Right-of-Way Law is relevant as well.
