The Dover Police Department is investigating a fatal pedestrian collision that occurred on Tuesday evening.
Officials said just after officers responded to the area of North DuPont Highway, just north of Leipsic Road for a report of a female pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.
The 29-year-old female was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash. Initial findings show that the female pedestrian was crossing North DuPont Highway from the parking lot of Raceway Liquors. The pedestrian was not in a crosswalk and was wearing dark clothing according to police.
As the pedestrian was crossing westbound, a 2004 Nissan Titan pickup truck was traveling northbound on North DuPont Highway in the left most lane. The truck, operated by a 17-year-old male, struck the pedestrian in the travel lane.
The driver of the truck pulled into a parking lot to call his parents where he was contacted by responding officers.
The roadway was closed for an extended period of time while police investigated and cleared the accident.
