Odds are the driver was impaired. Sadly, for too many, the money and consequences comes before a life. It is much easier and cheaper to come forth the next day and say you didn't know you'd hit a human -- you thought it was a dog, a log, a bump in the road. Penalties would be far less. And, of course, there is the chance you'll never get caught if you don't turn yourself in. Taking responsibility for your actions really does seem to be far too common today.
