"Hit" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
To strike or come into contact with something or someone with a force that causes damage or injury; to cause a great deal of pain or trouble.
The phrase "hit-and-run" refers to a negligent act of driving in which a person damages another vehicle, property, or person, and then quickly leaves the scene without stopping to provide identification, render aid, or comply with other legal requirements. This term is often used in the context of a car accident or traffic incident, where the perpetrator fails to take responsibility for their actions by fleeing the scene.
