A 21-year-old man was seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver in the early morning hours of November 3, in Suffolk County, N.Y., as he was walking away from his disabled SUV. Police said that victim was probably the same driver who, a few minutes earlier, had himself rear-ended a sedan and driven off without stopping. (And the day before, in Jacksonville, Fla., a 19-year-old man was seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver when he climbed over a barricade after being hit by another hit-and-run driver.)
