Danny was involved in a hit and run that was never resolved

In the subreddit r/Hawaii50 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Hawaii50/), user u/JayIsADumbSloth (https://www.reddit.com/r/Hawaii50/comments/nqeqyn/season_10_danny/) asked about an accident that occurred in Season 10 of the series, posting, "So did Danny ever find out who hit his car and left himself and Joanna (I think that's what her name was) to die? I don't believe I saw him find the guy."

The episode in question is Episode 14 of Season 10, titled "I ho'olulu, ho'ohulei 'ia e ka makani," directed by "Robocop" actor Peter Weller. The episode revolves around Danny (Scott Caan) meeting a woman named Joanna, played by Kate Siegel (https://www.looper.com/625059/the-transformation-of-kate-siegel-from-childhood-to-midnight-mass/), and going for a drive with her. The two, however, end up in a car accident in a remote area with the other driver fleeing from the scene. Danny is able to get free from the wreckage and manages to get help, but is unable to keep Joanna from dying.

User u/555nosey (https://www.reddit.com/r/Hawaii50/comments/nqeqyn/season_10_danny/h0ao9jq/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) replied that the perpetrator did, in fact, go free, as survival, rather than catching the criminal, was the focus of the episode. They commented, "no, I don't think so. but the way I remember the episode, I don't think that was what they focused at all. I think it was just a hit and run and the 'point' of the ep was him trying to keep her alive etc. but it's been a while since I last saw it."

This episode was the last one Weller directed for the series. Beginning with the Season 3 episode "Hookman," he directed a total of 15 episodes over the course of the show's run (per IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000693/?ref_=tt_ov_dr)).
