Most often, the drivers who "hit and run" in these instances are actually under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. By fleeing, alcohol and/or drugs cannot be readily detected as they would be if the driver remained at the scene. Thus, these drivers successfully avoid being arrested for the more serious crimes of Aggravated
