Narrative:
The Dover Police Department is investigating a fatal pedestrian collision that occurred on Tuesday evening. 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. 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 continued northbound for a brief period before pulling into a parking lot to call his parents and being contacted by responding officers.
At this time, no charges have been filed, but the incident remains under investigation.
