Dover, Delaware - A Syracuse University sophomore was killed Saturday night when the Jeep he was riding in collided with another vehicle north of Dover, Maryland.

Hunter B. Watson, 20, of McLean, Virginia died in the crash that took place near the Firefly Music Festival. The Syracuse University chapter of Phi Kappa Si announced his death in a Facebook post. He was a sophomore at the university studying information technology and services, according to his Linked In page.

The crash occurred at about 6:23 p.m. Saturday, as Rod Zarafshar, 20 of McLean, Virginia, was driving a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee northbound on Lewis Drive approaching Dyke Branch Road, the Delaware State Police said in a news release.

Robert J. Falcone, 37, of Dover was driving a 2008 Ford F-250 pick-up truck westbound on Dyke Branch Road approaching the same intersection. The intersection is controlled by a stop sign for the north and southbound traffic on Lewis Drive. Traffic on Dyke Branch Road has the right of way.

The Jeep failed to stop for the stop sign and entered into the intersection and into the path of the westbound truck which struck the Jeep on the passenger's side. Watson was a front seat passenger in the Jeep. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Zarafshar was airlifted to Christiana Medical Center where he was admitted with undetermined injuries.

Falcone was taken by EMS to Bayhealth Kent General Hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, police said.
