PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (CBS 2) — Police on Long Island were looking for a car that sped off following a fatal accident.

A pedestrian was killed Friday night After being struck by a car, shortly after 9 p.m. in Suffolk County.

The victim was in the southbound lane of West Avenue when he was hit.

The driver of the car remained at the scene, but another nearby car drove-off. Police were trying to identify that vehicle and driver Saturday.

It’s my guess that the driver of the second vehicle was a witness who didn’t want to get involved. It’s a pain being called to testify at a trial, and witnesses don’t get compensated for their time, travel, effort, inconvenience, and aggravation. A person has nothing to gain by being a witness. Also, witnesses have been known to be threatened, harassed, assaulted, and even killed by defendants.
Good Morning!

I agree. This story, in the way it is written, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The driver of the car? Which car? The one that hit the pedestrian or just a nearby car? Or were there two vehicles involved?

Or, are we to just take the article as it is written literally as a car hit a person and then another random car that just happened to be there simply sped off?

this report does not make any sense at all, what really happen, was the victim hit by two cars?
