ANDERSON — Hit-and-run traffic accidents have become increasingly common, leaving law-abiding motorists and local police officers alike deeply frustrated.

In the city of Anderson, police report an average of about one hit-and-run accident a day. In Madison County, the sheriff’s department counted 48 hit-and-runs in 2014, up from 34 in 2010. In many instances, evidence is inadequate to catch the hit-and-run culprit.

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — An increase in the number of hit-and-run accidents is sparking calls for tougher penalties for motorists who flee the scene in Indiana.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says nearly 20 percent of the more than 4,700 pedestrians killed in the U.S. in 2012 were involved in hit-and-run crashes. Indiana saw more than a half-dozen hit-and-run crashes in June that killed or seriously injured people.

Victims’ families and authorities say they’re frustrated by the cases, many of which leave inadequate evidence that makes it hard to catch the culprit. Others say that even when they’re caught, offending drivers often get off too easily.

“I believe the consequences, if the evidence is there, might need to be strengthened,” said Madison County Sheriff Scott Mellinger, whose county saw 48 hit-and-runs in 2014, up from 34 in 2010.

STAMFORD — Thanks to a strip club patron who whipped out his phone and took a picture of a car’s license plate, police were able to apprehend a West Side man who allegedly struck a pedestrian and drove from the scene of the collision.

The pedestrian was taken to Stamford Hospital, where he was put into the intensive care unit with several cuts to his scalp, right eye and face.

Police said Terrell Culver, 43, of Rose Park Avenue, failed field sobriety tests taken at the scene and was charged with driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, second-degree assault with a motor vehicle while under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, failing to avoid a collision with a pedestrian and failure to insure his car.

T-Jay was killed in a hit-and-run accident Sunday afternoon while riding his bicycle not far from home. Police would tell his father a driver hit him, stopped her car to look at the stricken boy, and sped off after a passenger in her car told her to leave.

Two people in another car wrote down the woman’s license plate number, called 911, and followed her until police arrived. Two more stayed with T-Jay as he lay dying in the street.

That is what has stayed with Tyrone Tillman in the long nights since his son was killed. He refers to T-Jay in the present tense, recounts happy memories with a smile. But he cries when he thinks of the strangers who comforted his son in his last minutes.

The defense team of 18-year-old Michael Hobbs told a judge Friday that as he matures, he will better understand the consequences of stealing a Chevy Tahoe and causing a hit-and-run crash that left two dead. The experience, the lawyers said, will certainly change his behavior over time.

The judge, Stephanie Rothstein, agreed but said the best place for Hobbs to learn those lessons is behind bars.

“You need a long time to arrive at these conclusions because your conduct was so dangerous and showed utter disregard for human life,” Rothstein said during Hobbs’ sentencing hearing Friday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.

She sentenced Hobbs to 30 years in prison for a February crash that killed 74-year-old Bernard Hanson and 64-year-old Mary Hanson, a married couple who were a block away from their home on Milwaukee’s southwest side. In the moments before the crash, Hobbs blew past a stop sign and reached speeds of almost 80 mph in a residential neighborhood near S. 84th St. and W. Wilbur Ave.

Juan G. Silva has been in prison more than a year for a crime he didn’t commit.

He will likely be freed next week, not because DNA proved him innocent, but because he admitted he falsely confessed to a fatal 2013 hit-and-run to protect the now-alleged driver — his son.

The costly ruse, which one of Silva’s attorneys characterized as something out of Shakespeare, ended Thursday when prosecutors filed new charges against the 22-year-old son, also named Juan G. Silva.

The younger Silva faces three felonies in the fatal crash on Sept. 28, 2013, when a white GMC van barreled into a pair of pedestrians outside Ela de Copas Tavern near the 1200 block of W. National Ave., killing one and seriously injuring the other.

Two mothers grieving similar tragedies joined forces Tuesday night to call for safer streets near the spot where their adult children were killed by hit-and-run drivers three years apart.

It has been 30 days since Ashish “Bapi” Gupta, 50, was struck by a speeding Mercedes on South Broadway after he left the Broadway Oyster Bar. The driver fled the scene.

His mother, Genie Gupta, held a candlelight vigil Tuesday night to ask St. Louis officials to make the street safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. She was joined by Georgie Busch, whose daughter, Amber Wood, 23, was killed in a similar way outside the bar three years ago.

The vigil was held outside the bar at 736 South Broadway.

Shanika Mason, 27, from Sharon Hill, Pa. turned herself in to police and was charged with Homicide by Vehicle, Accident Involving Death and Involuntary Manslaughter.

The child, Abdul Wilson, was killed in the incident back in April at 57th and Litchfield streets.

Surveillance video shows the driver striking the child, sending him 15 feet down the roadway. The driver then runs over the unconscious youngster before speeding away.

The little boy was quickly transported to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Police say it appears the incident was simply a horrible accident. Police say if the driver had just stopped at the scene, it’s likely she wouldn’t be facing any criminal charges.

It’s never been the same on the 2700 block of Mascher Street in West Kensington for the family of little David Alicia, who would have been three-years-old today.

Family members posted his picture on the fence for a vigil Sunday night, honoring him on his birthday.

It was back in April when police say he and his 19-year-old mother Josephine Rivera were struck by a white 2007 Infinity as it sped down the street.

Police say the car sped off as mother and son were crossing.

David died at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia days after the crash, family says his mother is still healing from fractures and facial injuries.

Police say the owner of the car that hit them wasn’t driving the vehicle at the time, but came forward after watching news coverage and led cops to the car.

But the case has hit a snag, police sources say they know two people who were in the car at the time of the accident, but they don’t know who was driving at the exact moment of the crash.

Neighbors say this speed bump was installed after the incident, but what they really want is justice.

The bad trip continued Friday for a Waukesha man police say was naked and high on LSD when he rammed his truck into several squad cars on Tuesday.

Leif Erickson, 21, was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment, one count hit-and-run causing injury and one count of fleeing and eluding, all of which are felonies. He was also charged with obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct-domestic abuse, both misdemeanors.

He admitted being on LSD on Tuesday night when he rammed his pickup into two parked squad cars, lost control during the ensuing chase and hit a squad car again before crashing.

The woman accused of supplying him drugs, Katie Wiedenbeck, 31, of Waukesha was charged Thursday with one count of felony heroin possession and misdemeanor charges of THC and drug paraphernalia possession.

SANTA ROSA (CBS SF) — An anonymous note left for police helped lead to the arrest of a 16-year-old boy, accused of hitting skateboarder earlier this month in Santa Rosa and driving away from the scene.

The August 6 crash left 20-year-old David Crowhurst with severe injuries, including a fractured skull, orbital sockets and other broken bones. Family members said Crowhurst was recovering but on Wednesday updated his condition to say he was having emergency surgery to remove air pockets from his skull.

The unidentified 16-year old suspect was arrested Monday and faces felony hit and run charges, according to Santa Rosa Police.
