State Police search for driver in fatal hit and run

Louisiana State Police are looking for the driver who hit a man walking on Burbank Drive early Monday morning and drove off.

There's even more to be said for watching to roadway, having your vehicle under control, and having the basic human decency to stop and report the accident if you hit someone. Only someone capable of doing a hit and run would even say what you said. Jerk.

What sort of lowlife hits another human being with a vehicle and then drives away? Reading things like this is utterly disheartening.
