Bicycle Crash

MILTON, DE - The Delaware State Police have arrested a man on multiple charges including vehicular homicide and driving under the influence after an alleged hit-and-run crash claimed the life of a bicyclist in Milton on Saturday.

Investigators say a Honda Accord was driving north on Sand Hill Road on July 26 just after 7:30 a.m. when it hit a bicyclist on the edge of the roadway, travelling in the same direction. The bicyclist was thrown into the grass and the Honda did not stop, according to police.

  • Vehicular Homicide 2nd Degree (Felony)

  • Leaving the Scene of a Collision Resulting in Death (Felony)
