conductor/chofer que golpea y huye

Explanation:
En México el término chofer se usa popularmente para designar indistintamente a quien "maneja" un vehículo terrestre automotriz. También se usa llamarle operario.
- Por golpear se entiende cualquiera: choque o atropellamiento.
- Y también se entiende que el "golpeador" huye SIN ayudar a su víctima si la hubiera.
Suerte!!!

Por cierto, en México, hasta hoy, no hay pena adicional por huir del lugar del accidente (¿?)
