Hit-and-run crashes this year are so far outpacing crashes in 2022, an “alarming upward trend,” the Colorado State Patrol said in a Wednesday news release.The CSP has seen a 22% increase in hit-and-run crashes in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same time frame in 2022. This year in January, the month that saw the sharpest increase, there were 260 hit-and-run crashes. January 2022 saw 192 crashes.“If you hit a vehicle, a person, or another piece of property, don’t panic,” Colorado State Patrol Chief Matthew C. Packard said. “Operating out of fear will only worsen this situation. Stay at the scene, check to make sure (whether) you and anyone are injured and call 9-1-1 to report the collision.”Leaving the scene of a crash can lead to multiple criminal charges, including felonies, that pile onto any charges associated with the crash. For example, if an uninsured motorist stayed at a property crash scene, they could be charged with careless driving and no proof of i...
