Following the crash, the driver fled the scene, raising concerns about the safety risks posed to other road users and pedestrians in the area. The immediate aftermath prompted police intervention and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Authorities swiftly mobilized to track down the individual responsible for the dangerous driving and subsequent hit-and-run. Through coordinated efforts involving eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage, ROP successfully located and arrested the driver.

The ROP highlighted the dangers associated with performing hazardous driving maneuvers, emphasizing the potential for severe accidents that can endanger lives and property. They cautioned the public about the importance of responsible driving and adhering to traffic regulations designed to protect all road users. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for heightened awareness and caution, especially in urban areas where traffic density and pedestrian activity are high.
Legal action is now underway against the arrested individual, with charges likely to include reckless driving and fleeing the scene of an accident.
