Tyler, TX (June 20, 2025) – Authorities are investigating a hit-and-run incident that occurred in the 400 block of South Southeast Loop 323 during the afternoon hours of June 20.
The incident happened around 2:00 p.m. According to preliminary reports, a vehicle was struck and the other driver fled the scene without stopping to assist or provide information. Emergency responders were called to the area to assist those involved. At least one individual was hurt and received care from medical personnel. The injured party was later taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment. The Tyler Police Department has launched an investigation to identify the driver responsible for the crash. It remains unclear at this time if there are any suspects or leads. Authorities are encouraging anyone with information or surveillance footage from the area to come forward.
We hope those injured in this incident recover quickly.
Hit and Run Accidents in Texas
Across Texas, hit and run accidents continue to pose a serious threat to drivers and pedestrians alike. According to state traffic data, more than 15,000 hit and run crashes were reported in 2023 alone. These incidents are especially concerning because injured victims are often left without immediate assistance. The aftermath can be emotionally and physically overwhelming, particularly when the responsible party cannot be identified.
When these accidents occur, victims face several difficult realities. Here are key factors surrounding hit and run cases:
- Delayed Medical Care: Victims may wait longer for help if bystanders or emergency services aren’t alerted quickly. This delay can worsen injuries, particularly internal trauma or bleeding.
- Insurance Challenges: Many hit and run victims discover they lack uninsured motorist coverage, making it harder to recover damages. Even with coverage, insurers might still push back on claims without clear fault.
- Emotional Strain: It’s common for victims to feel helpless and frustrated knowing the person who harmed them fled the scene. These feelings can be compounded by legal uncertainties and the long wait for answers.
- Legal Investigation Process: Investigators often rely on nearby cameras, witness accounts, or vehicle debris to track down suspects. This process takes time, and families may feel stuck without closure.
- Financial Impact: Without the other party’s information, victims may have to pay out-of-pocket for medical bills and vehicle repairs—unless recovery is pursued through legal avenues.
