Hit and Run Accident Leaves 2 Juveniles With Serious Injuries in Idaho

No details were shared regarding the driver of the Ford, and whether police have any information on the driver's age, gender, or physical condition is unknown. The report says the driver was not on the scene, but doesn’t specify if they were able to drive away and the truck was also not on the scene, or if they walked away from the crash and the truck was still there.

Though having the specifics of the truck would lead us to believe the truck was at the scene and the driver walked away, meaning police may have a lead from vehicle registration on who the driver may have been.
