Doesn't seem to be a reason to lose your life over this sort of mistake.
Our new national Sheriff just had a case where a guy that had recently been released from prison was involved in a hit and run on I-4.
He then drives off the interstate and runs to a nearby gas station. The story has a lot of irony for this poor soul (or sole in his case).
He's chased off by a woman who sprays him with gas, then another local uses his CCW to dissuade him, it goes on until he was captured back on I-4. Lucky for him people didn't run him over.
But you ask who would run from a hit and run accident, lots of people. How dumb do you have to be to try to enter a military installation, even dumber.
The real question, will his family sue for wrongful death.
