> 37,461 people were killed on the roads. Given how frequent are hit-and-runs with accidents, I expected it to be more common in deadly situations, but it seems to be the opposite: 2,049 fatalities that resulted from hit-and-run crashes in 2016.
Fatal collisions are more likely to disable the perpetrator and/or their vehicle, rendering them unable to hit-and-run even if they were so inclined.
If this is true then I expect hit-and-run to be more common in fatal car-vs-pedestrian crashes than for fatal car-vs-car crashes.
