A hit-and-run case in Naples was closed just hours after it happened because police said they did not have any leads, but a lawyer hired by the victim thought otherwise.
Fernanda Sanchez, a tourist from Mexico, was biking near the intersection of US-41 and Morningside Drive when a vehicle struck her. The crash happened during the afternoon of Dec. 7 while she vacationing in the area with her friends during the Christmas break.
“I thought he was going to stop, that he was going to be the one to help me,” said Sanchez, 27, said.
