Short answer: After an Idaho hit-and-run, get to a safe place, call 911, request emergency help when needed, and record the vehicle, direction of travel, witnesses, cameras, debris, and damage before evidence disappears. Report the loss promptly to your insurer, but do not assume uninsured-motorist coverage applies. Unknown-driver coverage can turn on the policy’s wording, […]

Those crashes included 231 fatal crashes, 8,370 injury crashes, and 19,526 property-damage-only crashes; 252 people were killed and 11,845 were injured.

The same memo’s Table 4 says six for that […]
