It seems to be mistakes and bad luck all around. The crash seems to be poor driving rather than deliberate recklessness*, running away is an odd and risky behavior (one would hope, in terms of legal consequences) in addition to being wrong, and refusing medical treatment was a huge mistake.
* Based on this part: “Donny and Jenny Kim stepped onto the sidewalk. They didn't see the woman on the scooter coming.”
- rerdavies 2y agoThe implication from the story seems to be that they stuck around, but the man told them he was ok. Whether they decided to leave, or whether he insisted they leave isn't stated in the article. And then the man experienced an episode of vomiting the following day, passed out, and never recovered consciousness. Whether that's technically and/or legally a hit-and-run is -- I suppose -- something that police will "have to investigate".
- benatkin 2y agoThat isn't my reading of it. > "I told her, 'You stay here, [the] police are coming,'" she recalled. "She's not supposed to run. She said, 'I'm not going nowhere, I'm here,' and then she [left]." > Both the woman and the man on the scooters fled before officers or paramedics arrived to the scene. My reading is that since she left before the paramedics arrived, that was before they insisted that he's OK.
