Suffolk DA Tom Spota on Wednesday called a press conference to bring attention to what he called an “epidemic” of people fleeing the scene of accidents. Spota says state laws are too easy on people who flee the scene of an accident. People who flee the scene often do so to avoid drug or alcohol testing, he said. They are beating the system, according to the DA. People who don’t flee can face greater punishment than people to do, and that doesn’t make sense, the DA said. See story.
