Considering how lax the punishment for drivers who kill cyclists is, what's the incentive to flee?

Seems like the majority of motor related cyclist accidents these days are hit-and-runs.

What an unfortunate outcome. I hope his family and friends remember their good times together.

Hopefully John's death helps push for even safer cyclist and pedestrian infrastructure in Tucson. They're one of the best, perhaps the best, cycling city in Arizona. Residents there will provide political backing behind building safer streets.

I guess people are not only fleeing the cops but social media, don't want people to know you're a killer.

I have a foolproof solution for that. It involves not killing.

Sorry, I had to. You make a valid point.
