Washington state launches new hit-and-run alert system

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Starting Tuesday in Washington state, alerts will be sent out to the public to help catch drivers involved in a serious injury or fatal hit-and-run crash. 

The new hit-and-run alert system is a program that works with state, local, trabal law enforcement agencies and the Washington State Department of Transportation to identify and find vehicles that leave a crash scene.

State legislature authorized it earlier this year.
