Elderly Delivery Rider Remains for 3 Days After Hit-and-Run Accident
An elderly delivery rider has captured the sympathy of netizens after he remained unconscious for three days following a hit-and-run accident.
A hit-and-run is a traffic accident in which a driver hits another vehicle, a pedestrian, or property and then leaves the scene without stopping to provide assistance, exchange information, or report the incident.
Hit-and-runs are considered a serious offense because the driver fails to take responsibility for their actions, which can result in harm to others or damage to property. The law typically requires drivers involved in an accident to stay at the scene and cooperate with authorities, even if the accident was unintentional.
Recently, Zhy Berryle, a Facebook user, shared heartbreaking photos of the injured rider along with an emotional plea for help. The post quickly circulated on social media and elicited reactions from the online community.
According to the post, the elderly man was diligently delivering goods when he was struck by a vehicle. The driver fled the scene without offering any assistance, leaving the rider critically injured.
The senior citizen was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he has been in a coma since the accident.
The family of the victim is appealing for help to identify the driver responsible for the hit-and-run. They shared their pain online, emphasizing how heartbreaking it has been to see their loved one unconscious and fighting for his life.
The family remains hopeful that justice will be served.
Netizens were quick to express their support and calling for accountability from the driver. Some also offered prayers and words of encouragement for the recovery of the elderly rider.
