Scene of Woodland Hills, CA Accident Caused by Fleeing Hit and Run Driver
WOODLAND HILLS, LOS ANGELES – California
A driver fleeing the scene of an accident ended up colliding with two other cars on Ventura Boulevard at Desoto Avenue in Woodland Hills on Saturday.
Police said the driver of a red convertible got into an accident on another portion of Ventura Boulevard. He then took off and continued eastbound, colliding with two other cars that were stopped at a light at Desoto Avenue at around 11:30 a.m.
Five people were injured, three of them critically.
The driver of the car involved in the original hit-and-run accident said the red convertible rear-ended him. He and his daughter were not injured.
This particular accident really hits home for me, because it happened right or I grew up.
I don’t know what’s going on lately but it seems to me that there is a marked increase of hit-and-run drivers, and people fleeing the scene of accidents that their in.
In this particular accident, five people were injured, three critically, because some idiot decided not to stop after they were in accident.
It seems to me if there were mandatory jail sentences for hit-and-run drivers, with sentences being much tougher for hit-and-run drivers, that the word would get out and more people would stop after they’re in a car accident.
Furthermore, I believe that drivers, who were convicted of hit-and-run driving, should lose their driver’s license privileges for the rest of their life. I think maybe with these types of stiff penalties, accidents like this would not happen, and more people would stop rather than flee the scene of an accident.
