Davis is strictly a college and ag town, not super large, very quiet.
I figure there’s a little complacency, maybe.
People almost never get killed in Davis, it’s the home of UC Davis, famous for veterinary stuff.
Could be a crazy honky tweaker, yes.
But it’s verrrry common in Calif. for traffic accident perps to run because many believe they’ll be deported.
If instead it was an illegal with criminal warrants..?
You might see something like THIS play out.
