Three recent hit-and-runs (not against cyclists) (July 2014)

" A 21-year-old woman was seriously injured earlier this month after being hit by a car passing by a crash on Interstate 35. The car then left the scene."

"Austin Police said a truck pulled out in front of a motorcyclist in the 4900 block of E. Ben White Blvd. at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday July  9, 2014.  Detectives said the truck was either a 90’s Chevrolet or GMC single red cab with a sign that said, “Top Mulching”....The motorcyclist is still recovering."

"The following day, Thursday July 10, another hit and run involving a pedestrian, sent a man to the hospital with life-threatening injuries."
