On a recent trip to a shopping mall, a family’s lunch plans took an unexpected turn when they returned to their car to find it had been damaged in a hit-and-run accident. Unfortunately, hit-and-run accidents are a sad reality on our roads. They happen when a driver leaves the scene after causing an accident. These can cause severe damage and injuries, and can happen to anyone at any time. Many drivers who flee the scene are never caught. Thankfully, with BlackVue dash cams it’s easier than ever to find the culprit.

The importance of the “Impact detected” notification

BlackVue user Michael, upon noticing the “impact detected” notification from the dash cam, checked his car and saw the scratches and a large dent on the right side of the vehicle. He quickly checked the dash cam footage and was relieved to find that the incident had been captured on video. The driver was able to locate the footage quickly thanks to the clear video labels in the app. He was even more relieved to see that the video captured the other vehicle’s license plate clearly.

Police impressed with the dash cam video

When the driver reported the incident to the police, the officer was impressed by the high quality of the video. Michael felt grateful that he had invested in a BlackVue DR750X-2CH Plus dash cam, as it played a key role in identifying the hit-and-run driver. You can see the pictures of the damage below.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of dash cameras in the event of an accident. Not only do they provide crucial evidence in the event of a hit-and-run, but they can also offer peace of mind for drivers who want to ensure the safety of their vehicle on the road.
