A proposed bill in Kansas aims to enhance the penalties for individuals who flee the scene of fatal accidents.
Today, Jill Ward was among the individuals who testified in support of the bill during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Jill is determined to ensure that these drivers are held accountable.
According to Ward, the driver abandoned two young individuals on the road, leaving them to die. He emphasizes the potential consequences of such negligence, raising concerns about scenarios involving school buses or remote areas where it could take hours to discover someone in critical condition. Ward highlights the crucial role that time plays in determining life or death outcomes.
The proposed measures aim to increase the severity of the penalties, leading to longer prison sentences and a reduced likelihood of parole.
