It's amazing how many people are willing to throw Lynch under the bus based upon this story, which leaves out a plethora of details. Assuming Lynch WAS the driver, leaving the scene is probably only a misdemeanor charge. It doesn't mean he is liable for the accident. The pedestrian was leaving a bar **red flag** and was struck by the right side of Lynch's bumper as he was making a left turn. No mention of any traffic violation, which means the pedestrian had to be in the middle of the road if Lynch was in the left turn lane. Jaywalkers run the risk of getting hit when they cross on a red light. This doesn't excuse Lynch from stopping and helping the lady, especially if it tore the bumper of his car off. I'd like to hear more about this story before more assumptions are made.
