Just like you see on the various crimes drama serials, there is a special squad that comes out to investigate certain types of accidents, fatal wrecks for the most part. Maybe not just like you see on television, with the sensational stories of international intrigue and ultra high-tech resources used by the finest agents in the land, but you get the idea. This special squad does use all kinds of tricks, though, from toy cars to computer aided diagramming and statistical analysis. The Fatal Detail Unit for the Las Vegas Metro Police Department had their hands full last year, investigating close to 200 cases. For the squad of eight police personnel, constantly looking into terrible and often fatal accidents has its own psychological toll. For starters, there are cases that you just can't walk away from at the end of the day like you can a spreadsheet. A recent news story on Las Vegas accidents and this Fatal Detail Unit talked about one particular case that bothered at least one member of the squad where the victim fortunately did not die, though the hit and run driver who brought her to death's door has yet to be caught.

The Fatal detail unit got involved in this accident because of how serious it looked when first responders arrived on scene. This is not altogether uncommon, unfortunately, for them to get a call in anticipation of a severely injured person potentially passing away. Getting intimately acquainted with these accidents in Las Vegas; you may not have a hard time imagining, can get to a person. This six year old girl the police Sargent talked about was struck as she went around in costume on Halloween night. The Sargent was interviewed in that story and talked about visiting the girl in the hospital beyond when they had exhausted all current leads on the case at that time. Though detectives have their suspicions that the man who fled the scene after nearly killing this young Trick or Treat-er may have been driving under this influence in this accident, they will never be able to be determined now even if he is caught. It is not at all uncommon, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sargent speaking in this story said, for hit and run drivers to be worried about some other warrant for their arrest or potential additional charges, and that is why they flee. They are unlikely to turn themselves in for the crime, at least at this point.
