Forney, TX Woman Arrested for Hit-and-Run Accident
When an individual witnesses a car accident, it is important for that person to inform authorities of what they know. If the incident is a hit and run accident, that information could help track down parties who may have been involved in a serious accident. By being able to track down vehicles and other information, authorities could be closer to apprehending a suspect.
Witness information helped provide important knowledge to Texas authorities after a hit and run accident. The situation reportedly involved a bicyclist who was cycling west when he was hit by a vehicle. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, but a witness was able to give police information about what type of vehicle was involved, including the tag number.
After the impact, the bicyclist was thrown from the bicycle, and he suffered serious injuries. Reports last noted the man to be in intensive care. The driver of the vehicle recently turned herself into authorities after a warrant was put out for her arrest, presumably based off the vehicle information they acquired. She is currently being held in jail.

This hit and run accident was lucky to have a witness that could provide such valuable information. Because authorities had this knowledge to work with, finding a suspect was made easier. Unfortunately for the injured bicyclist, he will likely still face many difficulties as he recovers from the incident. Due to the severity of his injuries, he may wish to consider filing a personal injury claim in Texas that could allow him to pursue reimbursements to assist with medical expenses.
