Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in Long Beach

Over the past six years, about 2,000 pedestrian accidents have occurred in Long Beach. Unfortunately, whenever pedestrians are hit late at night and the driver fails to stop, it’s often because of drunk driving. When drivers are under the influence, they’re barely in control of their bodies, and definitely not their vehicles. Drunk drivers are less likely to see clearly, which means they’re more likely to run stop signs, speed, break traffic laws, and hit pedestrians.
