Cameras and geolocation key in identifying the vehicle 🚔

The investigation relied on urban video surveillance systems and the analysis of traffic patterns using geolocation tools. Officers reviewed traffic records and cross-referenced data with license plates to narrow down the search. This procedure, similar to that used in technological environments to track devices, allowed them to follow the car's trail until locating it and confirming the driver's identity.

The driver thought it was a traffic cone 🚦

According to unofficial sources, the driver stated that he did not stop because he believed the pedestrian was a fallen traffic cone. Perhaps he mistook the victim's dark coat for a construction element. An excuse that, if true, would explain why he didn't call a tow truck. The Local Police, however, found no cone at the scene, only a citizen with fractures.
