A Philadelphia man is dead after being struck by a vehicle and a Delaware man is under arrest after driving through the crash scene.
However, two hours into the investigation, around 11:34 p.m., state police say the driver of a 2016 gray Dodge Journey was traveling westbound on Route 40 and approaching the crash site.
They say the driver, identified as 29-year-old Javier Rodriguez of Newark, Delaware, "bypassed the DelDOT lane closures, disregarded the emergency vehicle lights and arrow boards that were being used to close the road, and continued westbound." Police say a trooper attempted to stop Rodriguez but he continued to barrel through the crash scene, nearly hitting a detective and a DelDOT worker.
A pursuit ensued which ended when the Dodge came to a stop in the parking lot of Rivera Taco Express.
