The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is rolling out a new tool that aims to improve law enforcement's chances of catching hit-and-run drivers. WSP launched the Hit and Run Alert system on Tuesday, which facilitates cooperation among state, local and Tribal law enforcement agencies to "identify and recover a fleeing vehicle involved in a serious injury or fatality hit-and-run collision." “Last year, our state saw over 300 hit-and-run collisions resulting in serious injury or death," said John R. Batiste, WSP chief. "In many of those situations, information about the fleeing vehicle was available that, if widely disseminated, might have helped us find a dangerous driver. We are working with our partners in law enforcement across the state and in highway safety at WSDOT to get the word out about these often devastating crimes.” Read the full story here: https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/wsp-hit-and-run-tool/281-1b9cdc0d-cf50-4b15-9295-f351a2fc5091
