A person gets hit who isn't actually standing on the road and the police agency is looking for clues as to his whereabouts before he was hit ?? How about searching for the vehicle that hit the pedestrian.
One other question would be how did three cars other than the original hitter get damaged ? I can understand one, but 3 ?? law enforcement needs to cut down on people tailgating since the vast majority of accident damage occurs in that manner
