Pennsylvania legislators are considering creating an alert system to notify repair shops about hit-and-run drivers. The “Jay Alert” would be issued to all Pennsylvania auto body shops so workers could be on the lookout for vehicles involved in hit-and-runs resulting in serious injury or death. The bill is named after Jayanna Powell, an 8-year-old who was killed in 2016 by a hit-and-run driver.

A Pennsylvania state legislator wants to crack down on hit-and-runs by creating a “Jay Alert” which would notify body shops after an incident occurs. Pennsylvania State Senator Anthony Williams said the law was inspired by an eight-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while walking home from school. The suspect was caught after a body shop owner notified police. The law would expand the AMBER Alert system and send descriptions of vehicles in hit-and-runs to all state body shops.
