apparently the a$$ that was driving the Ford FOCUS, wasn't focussed! drunk perhaps??

I think I can understand being scared that they just hit something and may not know what it was. But for heaven's sake, why don't people stop, pull over and investigate? I just don't get that.

I can see being afraid to pull over at night if I hit something and was alone in my car. You never know what lengths people will go to just to get someone out of their car so they can take advantage of them. It doesn't justify completely driving away though either.

The article doesn't mention it were there any traffic control devices like cones or a barricade with a flashing light set up? Was the plumber wearing a reflective vest?
It doesn't excuse leaving the scene but ...
