The driver failed to stop and check the welfare of the victim Nestor as he lay in the roadway. Nestor received serious injuries from the accident and was on life support at the hospital where he later died. There was no evidence or witness at the scene that could provide a suspect description or a plate number on the Dodge Charger.
