ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida Highway Patrol troopers have investigated five hit and run fatal crashes in just the past few weeks and the families of some of the victims are demanding action. Troopers have gone to the scenes of 13 deadly crashes this year alone, where someone left the scene without even calling for help.

Relatives of some of the victims want to make sure their loved ones don’t become a statistic. They brought pictures, their stories and their friends, because they want to bring awareness to the issue.

The total tally is 13 for the year. Five of those have been in the last month. The most recent was this weekend when 23-year-old LeAnn Delany was killed.

LeAnn’s parents spoke Thursday at FHP’s Orlando headquarters, as did a number of other family members. They wanted to share their pain and their frustration with the public. They hope, by doing that, they’ll not only encourage people to stop if they hit some one but also to call in with tips on their cases.

“Loose lips sink ships. It just takes one person to spill the beans and get closure to these families,” said John Mare, a friend of the victim.

“This was the act of someone selfish who only cares about themselves. They don’t care about anyone else,” said widow Melody Eaton, whose husband John was run over by a truck while trying to get out of the road after another car hit his motorcycle the day after their one-year anniversary.

Ten out of those 13 fatal hit and runs are still open. In a hit and run, the biggest piece of evidence has left the scene. So they rely heavily on tips. That’s why they've teamed with Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS, so people can call in vital information anonymously.

That's what gives six-months pregnant Holly Sterry hope. Through a tip, she and FHP know a man and woman are responsible for killing Jorge Maradiaga just months before his third child was born.

“I can’t sleep at night and I hope that these people can't either,” Sterry said.

If drivers don’t stay at the scene of an accident until emergency workers get there, they face a first-degree felony and up to 30 years in jail. FHP says most people leave the scene, because they're not supposed to be driving, are intoxicated or already wanted for another crime. These families hope their appeals will trump those reasons and appeal to drivers and witness alike.

Non-fatal hit and runs are through the roof also. FHP says they had 19 non-fatal hit and runs in Central Florida Wednesday alone.
