Wow! I can see this being a viable defense to hit and run in the future. A person could legally claim fear for their life in a future incident.

It does create a precedent does it not?

WTF is wrong with people these days!?

I’ll withhold judgement until forensics tells me how far he toddler flew and what the braking distance was ... I’m guessing 40 in a 25... but hey everyone else on here is conjecturing as well, so why not.

I believe it's usually not a problem if the driver heads to the nearest police station.

[[WTF is wrong with people these days!?]]

The man of lawlessness IS beign let loose=- thanks to the likes of people like Sharpton Jackson and even our leader who encourage this kind of behavior by stirring up racial hatred- only it is stirring up blacks to hate whites and commit crimes like this and fuergeson and florida and Chicago etc- There is a real and dangerous push on to make evil good and good evil ( such as going after bakers, and pizza store owners and photography businesses, and going after police, and neighborhood watchmen and the church etc- evil is winning the day thanks to those who are supporting it like our leader and race baiters who are itching for violence and corruption)

Them ore we get towards the end times, the more evil there will be- going against all common sense- and those who protest WILL and ARE being made out to be the bad guys while the evil ones flourish and prosper

I think that leaving an accident scene that would be a danger to the drive is permitted if one calls police and meets with them.

Law and Order even covered something similar almost a decade ago where a guy did a hit and run but his defense was that he was afraid to stay at the scene because of what would happen in such a bad hood. IIRC he lost because of other reasons and it’s the show Law and Order.
