An argument appears to have preceded the alleged vehicular assault that caused McGowan a head injury that included bleeding in her skull, an injured leg and a collapsed lung. Chaney needed surgery to put a rod and pins in a fractured fibula, He also suffered a broken rib, and he told the Pilot that the incident dashed his hopes of becoming a Navy SEAL.
Police are investigation the incident as a felony malicious assault by vehicle. Clearly, the victims would also be entitled to compensation from this driver in a civil lawsuit.
Virginia Beach and surrounding cities such as Norfolk and Chesapeake, VA, see too many hit-and-run accidents. In February 2011, for instance, an 11-year-old girl was left severely injured and unconscious by a hit-and-run driver on South Lynnhaven Parkway in Virginia Beach.
According to the AAA Foundation, about 11 percent of all police-reported crashes involve a hit-and-run driver, and this problem is especially prevalent for pedestrians. "About 60 percent of the people killed in hit-and-run crashes are pedestrians," Foundation President and CEO Peter Kissinger said in a press statement, adding that "1 in 5 pedestrian fatalities involve hit and run drivers."
