A 20-year-old whose job was teaching safety meeting an end like this in a hit and run, honestly, I'm at a loss for words. Driver irresponsibility is a deep-rooted problem over here too. The perpetrator still being at large is the most unforgivable part. All I can do is hope every last bit of witness information comes forward.

Hit-and-runs by car drivers are really common, front-and-rear dashcams are a necessity for self-protection.

Reading things like this really hurts... rest in peace.

Without being overly paranoid, all you can do is protect yourself with high-visibility gear and armor.

Really hope the driver who fled gets identified, no way this should just be swept under the rug.

If it dragged the victim for a whole mile, the car can't be unscathed either, should get identified from witness info.

For this to happen to someone who taught safety, there are no words. Hit-and-runs are unforgivable.

Dragged for a whole mile... that's just brutal. Catch whoever did this fast.
