Car Accidents Caught on Surveillance

A hit and run car accident occurred in Florida last week. A black truck ran a red light and slammed into a car with three passengers. Some walked away with cuts and bruises, but another passenger in the car was left at the scene in critical condition. No one knows what happened to the person driving the truck because he fled from the scene. Other cars drove by the accident and did not render any aid. You may be wondering how Florida police know all of these details if nobody stopped to give an account of the accident. This horrible hit and run car accident was caught and recorded on a security camera at the corner gas station.

The security camera captured the entire accident. Unfortunately, the way the camera was angled did not provide a picture of the truck’s license plate. Police do know, however, from the video surveillance tape the make, model, and color of the truck. The video has been shown on the news nationwide in hopes of catching the driver and prosecuting him. Florida police are hoping that someone watching the news that saw the video tape will come forward and offer information. The chances of catching the driver in this hit and run accident are higher than most because of the security camera that captured and recorded the footage.

In a different event, a man was injured after being hit by a driver who also fled from the scene. This accident happened in a neighborhood and, a family’s home security camera caught the hit and run. A man walking down the street was hit by a car. His leg was broken from the impact of the car hitting him. He was very lucky though because he only suffered a broken leg and lived through the accident. In this case, police were also lucky to have clear evidence from the family’s security camera.

These are other examples of how great security cameras are in recording evidence. Unfortunately, these examples are tragic but police are hopeful the tapes will help in catching the hit and run driver and provide enough justice for the man who was hit by a car. Security cameras provide clear pictures and can make a huge difference in whether or not someone is prosecuted after committing a crime. They are more reliable than an eye witness accounts especially in the case of a hit and run accident because someone might not know the make or model of the vehicles involved. It can also be hard to remember specific details in an event.
