Lewes- The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a serious crash involving a pedestrian that occurred Saturday evening, according to Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Melissa Jaffe.
Jaffe said the incident occurred on November 2, 2019, at approximately 9:06 p.m., when a 2002 Dodge Ram 4×4 pick-up truck was traveling southbound on Camp Arrowhead Road just north of Waterview Road. The pick-up truck had just exited a sharp right curve in a heavily wooded area. Upon exiting the curve a pedestrian appeared on the right edge of the roadway and either stumbled or fell into the right side of the truck striking the right side mirror, according to Jaffe.
