This is so sad, I bet this young man would do anything if he could turn back time. It is my understanding he and the victim were good friends. The worse punishment he will endure will be knowing he is responsible for his friends untimely death.
Chances are that this young man was drunk and that is why he left the scene. It’s no excuse, but i bet he was thinking it would have been worse on him with getting a DUI and Involuntary murder charge. God Bless the family and pull them through this terrible tragedy…
