Hit-and-runs happen more often then you would think, however, not as often as a typical accident.  Nearly 1,500 people die per year in hit-and-run accidents according to AAA.  Of all accidents that were fatal, nearly 18% are from hit-and-run accidents.  Additionally, of all pedestrian related accidents, hit-and-runs accounted for 20% of all injuries.
