Two of the damaged cars at the scene of the accident on Yamacraw Hill Road on Sunday afternoon
A SUNDAY afternoon hit-and-run incident has left three cars damaged and their occupants needing attention from an ambulance crew.
The crash took place on Yamacraw Hill Road at about 3pm on Sunday, not far from the entrance to Palm Cay in eastern New Providence.
Two men in a red car reportedly tried to overtake a Jeep Grand Cherokee but struck it before veering into the opposite lane and colliding with a car coming in the other direction.
Shortly afterwards, the two men were reported to have run from the scene to get into another car to drive away, leaving the occupants of the other two damaged vehicles without any contact information. The red car appeared to have an expired vehicle licence.
An ambulance was called to the scene to check the others involved for injuries. The police were informed of the incident.

Those who hit and run and are caught should serve a 3 years prison sentence, minimum, as well as having their drivers license suspended for 5 years.

Alex_Charles, agreed, but in the case of death or serious injury, they should serve longer terms -- equivalent to homicide and reckless endangerment, as appropriate.

Huh??? for their sakes I hope the car was stolen. Otherwise extremely foolish thing to do. (And no, not condoning the action, it's just inexplicable if the license disc, even if expired will identify them)
