The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that over 737,000 hit-and-run accidents occurred in 2015. This number of accidents means a hit-and-run occurs every 43 seconds in the United States. The Automobile Association of America (AAA) reported 1,980 fatal hit-and-runs in 2016, which resulted in 2,049 total fatalities. Part of the report that AAA released showed higher numbers of hit-and-run related accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists, making up 70% of the fatalities from 2016. As larger cities are encouraging residents to walk or ride bikes to decrease traffic, this, unfortunately, puts those individuals at risk of being involved in an accident.
