A Tragic Hit & Run Story

Just yesterday a nineteen-year-old boy turned himself, accompanied by his parents, into the police. On Tuesday night, this boy (who will remain anonymous) was driving home form his job in Bay Bridge Brooklyn, where he works and resides, to give his older brother back his Mercedes- Benz. Traveling over the speed limit on Hylan Blvd. he hit a forty-two-year-old woman, wife and mother. Police say if the boy had not fled the scene he might have recieved a speeding ticket instead of now being faced with a felony charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

Relatives of the forty-two-old woman says no matter how many tears rolls down ones' face, "you do not leave somebody dead in the street." I agree with this statement, as much as I believe the sorriful boy, you don't hit and then run from a crime, especially one you have just committed. The victims husband is upset that this nineteen-year-old boy has already been released from jail free of bail. He stated that "this is not a game."
