According to our news partner KETK, the \u201ctroubling statistic\u201d isn\u2019t just illegal but a serious issue of safety and responsibility. 48 weeks have passed since January meaning there has been about one hit-and-run case every week in the City of Marshall. Marshall PD said a recent hit-and-run investigation led to the arrest of a 23-year-old Marshall woman who was charged with accident involving damage greater than or equal to $200. Authorities said leaving the scene of class B misdemeanor could lead to six months in jail or a fine of up to $2,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cTexas law requires drivers involved in a collision to stop, exchange information, and assist anyone who may be injured,\u201d Marshall PD said.<\/p>\n
Officials said in case of a crash that causes an injury or a fatality, leaving the scene then becomes a felony which could be punishable of up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cFailing to stop after an accident puts lives at risk and can lead to life-altering consequences. Let\u2019s all do our part to keep our roads safe and hold ourselves accountable,\u201d the police department said.<\/p>\n
About 72 miles south of Marshall, the Jacksonville Police Department is investigating a hit-and-run that led to the death of a 25-year-old cyclist. Police are seeking the public\u2019s help to identify the driver involved in the Wednesday night crash on Austin Street.<\/p>\n
A few days earlier on Nov. 25, another man was killed on US-82 near Malta while pushing a motorcycle. According to DPS the 44-year-old man was hit by an unidentified vehicle that left the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you witness or are involved in an accident, stop, report, and assist\u2014it\u2019s the law and the right thing to do,\u201d Marshall PD said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
