What do we know about the psychology of hit-and-runs? Drivers panic? Didn't know that they hit someone (or so claim)? Other factors: drivers uninsured, unlicensed, or have outstanding warrants?

Anyone recommend good studies or other reading on this?

This is just sickening. When even old(er, don't at me) ladies and kids† are getting hit by cars (or in this case, a truck with a trailer according to the 911 call) that flee the scene, what faith I had in society evaporates.

FYI: We've been having some trouble with one of the cloud providers that we use for the three Safe Streets Indy project websites (SSI, IPC, IVZ).

We've moved all site assets (images, audio clips, documents, etc) to a different host in the interim.

If you run into any issues, please let us know!
