When it is a middle aged man walking and he is ran over and left to die in a neighborhood not reconized by the wealthy of Columbia County it is forgotten. I guess hit and run isn't a story during Master's week. Did we forget hit and run is a crime? My heart goes out to his family and friends. The person that hit him should be in jail! Inappropriate? Alert Us!
