OGDEN — It’s been six months since Kelly Wilkinson lost her grandson, Joe Martinez. The pain of losing the teen to a hit and run accident will never fully go away, but Wilkinson decided to put on a joyous event, where those who knew him could celebrate Joe’s life rather than grieve.

On Saturday, Martinez’s family unveiled a memorial bench at Lorin Farr Park, right in front of the skate park where Martinez would spend his free time.

“Joe is so loved,” Wilkinson said, commenting on the crowd of people who came to the unveiling. “Anytime he ran into someone new, he touched their lives.”

Author Extraordinaire Felix Clay shared with the world a riveting glimpse into the world of hit-and-runs.

Namely, he wrote a gut-busting article on a website called “Cracked” about all the funny reasons that people flee the scene of collisions that leave people dead (or close to it) on the roadways.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, HILARIOUS FODDER!

Check out this poetic lead:

Don’t you hate getting run over? What a pain in the you-know-what, am I right?

Oh God yes, Felix, I DID hate getting run over. You. Are. Sooooo. Right. It was a pain in the I-know-what! LOL

And the worst part of nearly being vehicularly homicided is when the other driver can’t take the time to not speed off like the Road Runner just after the Acme delivery guy showed up.

So, there you are, bent in half, ass in the air trickling blood down your spine and onto your face as you lie peacefully in the gutter listening to your bone fragments grating against each other in a kind of semi-pleasant but very uncomfortable rhythm, and thinking, “Man, that was inconsiderate.” And all you can do in that situation is wonder what that other person was doing that was so pressing and so important that they couldn’t even pull over for a second to help you get your shoe out of your intestine.

The laughs just keep coming in.

Even though I was laying on the ground in a puddle of blood, my brain expanding to the point that they had to cut pieces of my skull out to make sure I lived, I get what he’s saying here!

Listen, I’m all for gallows humor. What I’m not for is gallows fan-fic about what it’s like to get run over by a car.

Yes, people use shitty excuses when they get caught for fleeing the scene.

No, it’s not necessary to write some half-assed snark about what happens in the aftermath to a hit-and-run victim and then fire back on Twitter that someone who’s actually suffered just doesn’t get it.

What Cracked needs is some sort of web presence that doesn’t rely on shutterstock-ish photos to illustrate poorly thought-out, unfunny tripe. And Clay needs a refresher course on quality-lede construction.

I know not why the person who ran me over fled the scene, but I’m sure it was hilarious. I’m sure other victims of unsolved hit-and-runs feel the same way.

Making light of people being hit by cars is no classier than making fun of people who suffer sexual assaults. And it’s time for people to stop pretending it is.

You guys lemme know – is this article insensitive to victims? http://t.co/7l5s9tl8wb

The tip came after Traverse City police put out a public call for help identifying a motorist who struck a bicyclist late May 14 in front of Harrington’s By the Bay restaurant, then sped off. Police Capt. Jeff O’Brien said that paid off Saturday when a man approached authorities with a suspect:

His daughter.

O’Brien said city police and Grand Traverse County sheriff’s deputies caught up with the woman, 34, of Traverse City, later that day. He expects officers will request charges against the woman, who’s currently being hospitalized.

“She was having a tough time about it,” he said.

The North Philadelphia teen charged with the hit-and-run accident that critically injured a Temple University senior waived his preliminary hearing Friday and his lawyer said he would accept responsibility and likely plead guilty.

The waiver means the case against Rashan Roberts – charged with a felony count of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or serious injury – proceeds to trial.

Roberts, 18, surrendered to police May 6 after his parents contacted authorities and told them their son, who had a learner’s permit, was the driver of the silver 2012 Mitsubishi Galant that hit 22-year-old Rachel Hall.

Some days, Tiffany Green struggles to get out of bed. It’s been more than five years since her eleven-year-old daughter, Alana Williams, was killed on the streets of East Oakland, but at times, the grief feels just as heavy as it did on the day she lost her child.

“It doesn’t get better. It just gets harder and harder,” said Green, 32, in a recent interview. “I sit and wonder how she would be turning sixteen.”

Just after 8 a.m. on October 16, 2009, Alana, a sixth-grade student, got off an AC Transit bus on 64th Avenue and Foothill Boulevard on her way to Frick Middle School.

After she took a few steps into the crosswalk, a black vehicle crashed into the young girl, according to the Oakland Police Department’s official report. Police wrote that Alana was pinned under the vehicle, and that the driver, in an attempt to flee the scene, ran over her a second time.

By the time Green arrived at Highland Hospital, it was too late. Her daughter was already dead.

COLUMBIA, SC (WACH) – The Columbia Police are still looking for answers in a 2012 hit and run accident that left a cardiac nurse seriously injured.

Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook says a $25,000 award is being offered for any answers leading to an arrest.

The accident took place September 16, 2012 as Lindsay Bires was standing on the sidewalk on Medical Park Drive.

Witnesses have stated that a white car ran off the road twice before striking Bires. The driver did not stop or render aid.

Witnesses gave aid to Bires as medical personnel arrived.

To this day, Bires still goes through intense physical and speech therapy on her road to recovery.

“Whoever did this does not to deserve to be on the street to this to another person and family. Please help our family have some sense of justice in this horrible crime and turn in the person who drove that white car into Lindsay and left her barely breathing,” said Susan Bires, Lindsay’s mother.

Rufus Henry Overbay Jr. was supposed to turn 43 on Tuesday.

Unlike previous birthday celebrations for the man affectionately called “Rudy,” Tuesday’s involved family and friends gathered along a small swath of sidewalk along East State Boulevard, near Kentucky Avenue, as the afternoon slowly faded into evening.

They wore T-shirts with Overbay’s picture on them and pointed to the street, right across from the Acme Tavern, showing where a woman just happened to drive by to find him laying at about 12:40 a.m. on Dec. 16.

“It’s somewhere right here,” his sister Tonya Morgan said, motioning at the asphalt.

Sometime before the woman who found him came by, someone else in a car struck Overbay. That person left the scene, leaving not only a badly injured man – still alive – but also debris from a headlight assembly.

Medics rushed Overbay to a hospital, but he died from blunt force trauma nine minutes after arriving.

Shortly after his death, Fort Wayne police released a grainy surveillance video taken from Acme that shows a sedan – dark in color, possibly red or maroon – in the area at the exact time someone struck Overbay.

But in the months since, there hasn’t been much else.

“Nobody has come forward,” Morgan said.

ANTIOCH — While the parents of hit-and-run victim Timothy Hudson were burying their son at a local cemetery Monday, a crew of city workers and police converged onto the site of Hudson’s death to remove illegal speed bumps the family says was placed to prevent another tragedy.

The bump was installed Friday afternoon by a small group of men, three days after the Timothy Hudson’s mother, Linda Hudson, declared at a City Council meeting that speeding drivers had been a problem on the street long before the collision that killed her son and that speed bumps were needed. When the Hudsons did not hear back from the city, Linda Hudson, 73, planned to install them herself, but a group of “speed bump fairies” she did not know beat her to it, she said.

Mayor Wade Harper said he believes the folks who installed the speed bumps had good intentions but that they inadvertently created a liability by installing it.

Nyfeicah Johnson was badly injured in a Memorial Day hit-and-run in Southwest Philadelphia. She has since undergone a pair of surgeries with more on the horizon.

On Friday night, according to a story on Fox29, her family held a rally to bring attention to this case and those of others involving hit-and-run victims. Obviously, this is an important issue to which you should pay attention if you care about the well-being of others victimized by the self-preservationist selfishness of dirtbags.

Nyfeicah is the third child hit in Southwest Philadelphia over the past two months. In April a 4-year old boy was killed in a hit and run on South 57th Street. That same day a 2-year old boy was hit near 57th and Mascher and died days later. No arrests have been made. Nyfeicah survived but has had two surgeries so far. Her family says she’ll need more.

“It has affected us tremendously because my daughter is not the same child was prior to this,” said Johnson.

The family praised CHOP for the surgeries done to Nyfeicah’s face. They say it’s amazing.

Meanwhile the car that hit her is believed to be a gray Ford Taurus with tinted windows.

If you have any information call Accident Investigations at 215-685-3180/3181.

Here’s hoping Nyfeicah makes as full a recovery as possible.

At Ozark High School’s graduation earlier this month, one seat was left empty. It’s where Timothy Sparks would have sat, but Sparks was killed by a car that struck him while riding his bicycle on July 3.

Sparks was on State Route NN in Ozark. He was 18 at the time of the hit-and-run. Ten months have since passed.

Days after Sparks’s death, a tip about a nearby party led police to seize a vehicle, and shortly thereafter a man called police to confess to the hit-and-run, court records say.

However, no charges have been filed, and both Ozark Police and Christian County Prosecutor Amy Fite said the case is still under investigation.

The Alaska Senate majority’s chief spokeswoman was charged with three felonies and misdemeanor driving under the influence after police said she struck two women and drove away from the parking lot of the state Legislature’s Anchorage office building Tuesday around 5:30 p.m.

Senate press secretary Carolyn Kuckertz, 38, backed her sedan out of a parking space and hit one woman hard enough to knock the glasses off her face and send her to the hospital, according to charges and a sworn police statement filed Wednesday in Anchorage district court. She then bumped a second woman “in the back of her leg, causing pain,” the charges said.

“Witnesses reported the driver stopped and appeared to know she struck the victim because she had a look of shock on her face,” the charging documents said. “Another witness told the driver to stop and the driver said, ‘I can’t.’ ”

When a police officer later confronted the driver, she was so drunk she swayed while standing, the officer said.

Instead, jurors will decide whether Gavin Haley, 31, knew or should have known that he had hit Victor Haskell, 53, of Boise, in the early morning of Sept. 27, 2013, on State Street — and whether he fulfilled his legal obligation to summon help and notify police.

Far removed from an era when New Yorkers knew him as the drunken motorman in a nightmarish subway crash, Robert Ray once again found himself in a miserable situation.

This time, Ray was the victim, mowed down by a hit-and-run driver as he tried to cross a busy thoroughfare in the Bronx. Witnesses said Ray appeared to be intoxicated.

The accident last week left the 62-year-old Ray with a skull fracture and broken leg — and also stirred memories of his notorious past.

“I was shocked,” said Ray’s former defense attorney, Michael Parson. “Of course, there’s tremendous irony, particularly if alcohol was involved.”

ANDERSON — Hit-and-run traffic accidents have become increasingly common, leaving law-abiding motorists and local police officers alike deeply frustrated.

In the city of Anderson, police report an average of about one hit-and-run accident a day. In Madison County, the sheriff’s department counted 48 hit-and-runs in 2014, up from 34 in 2010. In many instances, evidence is inadequate to catch the hit-and-run culprit.

While offenders often escape arrest, the accidents leave victims to deal with banged-up vehicles and other damaged property. Some result in injury, even loss of life.

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — An increase in the number of hit-and-run accidents is sparking calls for tougher penalties for motorists who flee the scene in Indiana.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says nearly 20 percent of the more than 4,700 pedestrians killed in the U.S. in 2012 were involved in hit-and-run crashes. Indiana saw more than a half-dozen hit-and-run crashes in June that killed or seriously injured people.

Victims’ families and authorities say they’re frustrated by the cases, many of which leave inadequate evidence that makes it hard to catch the culprit. Others say that even when they’re caught, offending drivers often get off too easily.

“I believe the consequences, if the evidence is there, might need to be strengthened,” said Madison County Sheriff Scott Mellinger, whose county saw 48 hit-and-runs in 2014, up from 34 in 2010.
