A 33-year-old woman from Dover was fatally struck by a car while walking on DuPont Parkway in Smyrna Friday afternoon, according to Delaware State Police.
The pedestrian was heading north in the right turn lane of southbound DuPont Parkway near the intersection of Joe Goldsboro and Paddock Roads at around 12:42 p.m., state police reported. At the same time, a 61-year-old man from Clayton in a 2012 Mazda MZ2 driving south on DuPont Parkway entered the right turn lane, police said.
The Mazda began to drift, police reported, and the right side and rear tire hit the curb before driving off the road completely. The car continued through the grass in front of Stover Construction LLC for “several feet” before hitting a mailbox, police said.
