San Francisco Police has released the identity of the hit-and-run accident victim in the intersection of Alemany Boulevard and Congdon Street.
The victim was identified as Isaac Hudson, 84, of San Francisco.
The 2-car intersection collision occurred just after midnight and witnesses said that 3 men from the 2nd car ran away from the scene.
Hudson, on the other hand, died on his car.
All drivers are required to stop after being involved in an accident. Drivers are also required to provide reasonable assistance to people who are injured on the scene.
If the three people did not run, they could have helped Hudson and who knows, his death could have been averted.
Running away from the scene only aggravates their offense and they will be prosecuted for it.
For the family, if there is no way to identify the driver or owner of the car, they can make a claim under the uninsured motorist coverage of Hudson’s car accident insurance policy.
However, since the suspects may have left the scene by car, the police will have an easier way to identify the car’s owner, which makes the uninsured motorist coverage not applicable (unless the owner really does not have insurance).
Once the police identities the owner, the family can file a wrongful death lawsuit against him to recover damages they sustained for Hudson’s untimely demise.
