A 21-year-old man was struck and killed Feb. 29 while trying to cross Route 113 near Georgetown.

The man, wearing dark clothing and not carrying a light, was walking eastbound near Arrow Safety Road at 9:08 p.m. when he tried to cross the southbound lanes of Route 113, said Master Cpl. Michael Austin of the Delaware State Police.

The man was not in a crosswalk when he walked into the path of a 2014 Chevy Captiva driven by a Millsboro man, 75, going southbound, Austin said. The pedestrian was struck by the Chevy and projected into the left lane of Route 113, Austin said. The pedestrian was then struck by a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, driven by a 29-year-old New Jersey man, that was also travelling southbound. Both vehicles came to a controlled stop and remained on scene. The pedestrian was pronounced deceased on scene. Identification is pending notification of next of kin.

Both drivers were properly restrained and were not injured as a result of the crash. Neither speed nor impairment are contributing factors on behalf of the drivers, Austin said.

Southbound Route 113 was closed for about three hours while the scene was investigated and cleared. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Cpl. K. Argo of the Troop 7 Collision Reconstruction Unit by calling 302-644-5020, Delaware crime stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or at http://www.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com.
