Hit-and-run accidents are always a serious problem, and one of the reasons is that not knowing the identity of the driver makes it difficult to deal with the administration of justice.  Tragically, a pedestrian was killed over the weekend in a hit-and-run accident in Bedford, and police are actively seeking evidence that will help them identify and ultimately apprehend the offending driver.

According to police, this Bedford hit-and-run accident occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday just after 2 a.m.  The woman, who was identified as Tonya Page, 29, of Watauga, was found along the side of the Airport Freeway near Brown Trail in Bedford.  Investigators determined that she was killed with a blunt force trauma to the head that was apparently caused by a moving vehicle.  Police are asking for anyone who may have information regarding this incident to contact them to issue a statement.

First, we’d like to send our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Page.  To lose a life at this young age and in this violent manner is nothing short of shocking and tragic.  In addition, this Bedford hit-and-run accident will only add to the overall statistics regarding Texas car accidents.  Every year, more than 175,000 people are injured and more than 3,400 people are killed in these occurrences.

While it will be difficult to administer justice until a driver is found, it seems that more often than not the driver in hit-and-run accidents is ultimately apprehended.  If or when this occurs, the family of Ms. Page will likely be able to bring a Texas wrongful death lawsuit against the driver regardless of the type of criminal charges he or she will face.  If such a case is successful, it could bring damages that compensate the family for medical, funeral and burial expenses as well as lost income and loss of companionship.
