Speaking on Jan. 30, Mary Wong’s son David repeated his plea for the community’s help in bringing the hit and run driver to justice. He said, “Progress so far is affected because there aren’t many traffic cameras around here, except for major highways. It takes time and effort to find nearby ring cameras or somebody who may have seen something. Also calling body shops and contacting neighbors along the possible travel route.“ Community members are reaching out to assist by making calls and talking about the need for information to support the police efforts.
