12,000 hit and runs per year in Austin (30 per day)

I know I made a post about this before, probably 2015 or 2016, but I can't find it.  Maybe it got erased somehow.  So I'll take another stab at it.

According to this article, there were 10,560 hit-and-runs from Jan. through Nov. 2015, which would be 11,520 a year, or 32 per day.

Of those, 424 (463/year, 1.3/day) were failure to stop and render aid.

Austin is such a nice place.

Re: 12,000 hit and runs per year in Austin (30 per day)

Back when I tracked cases, I found that about half of local car-bike collisions were hit-and-runs.

This article puts the figure for the U.S. at 17%.

Hard to have faith in humanity.
