Exactly the case when I was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit&run.
Our vehicle was able to drive off and chase, but a red light was run that we did not follow because of cross traffic.
Long story short, the guy tried to dive into a parking lot just around the bend after that light. He hit a parked police car with the officer inside. Police officer chased and called in friends.
After giving up on winning a car chase guy jumped from still moving truck and ran off into the woods.
Police hunted him with dogs, took him to jail.
I would have never found out about this because their was a jurisdiction line where the police that apprehended him had no idea about the earlier incident just seconds before. I was sitting in a waiting room at a chiropractor's office in about 50 minutes away next to the officer that got hit as he was waiting on his wife.
He was talking on the phone, describing a hit and run chase that sounded eerily similar. Same night, same time, same color and make of truck, same color of shirt of driver.
