There isn’t a set time before the police contact you after a hit-and-run. Typically, it takes a few hours or days for police to find the one responsible for the incident.
Sometimes, hit-and-runs can go undetected for weeks or even months before police catch the wind of what happened. However, the prevalence of street CCTVs is making it easier than ever for police to track hit-and-run incidences.
