The mother of a Cedar Rapids teenager who was the victim of a hit-and-run accident posted a video of the incident this week on Facebook. The driver knocked the teen driver to the ground but proceeded to leave the scene of the accident. What parent wouldn't want justice for their child?

The mom put the video on Facebook in hopes that the driver could be identified. Cedar Rapids Police were unable to get a license plate number from the video. Since the post went up three days ago, it has been shared hundreds of times in an effort to find the driver at fault.


It looks like that post worked wonders. CBS2 reports that Cedar Rapids Police officials now say that have identified, located, and cited the driver involved in the hit-and-run. Police are not releasing the driver's name or any other information at this point. CBS2 reports that the driver will face a mandatory court appearance for the non-scheduled misdemeanor.

CBS2 noted that the family wanted the video released sooner, but CRPD couldn't until they closed the case. Once the case was closed, police gave the family the video. Police officials told CBS2 that they remained in contact with the family during the course of the investigation.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
