This is so sad. I think the dangers of the towing industry are too often overlooked. I can't believe the driver fled the scene. That does not tell me good things about his character. I hope they are able to find him and bring him to justice, for Chris and his family.
That is so irresponsible of the driver. Hitting someone and fleeing without caring how hurt they are is unfortunate. I cant believe this things still happen. I hope when caught, he rots in jail.
