A 59-year-old man was killed when he was ejected from the car he was in after it went off the road and struck a culvert in Bear on Tuesday night, Delaware State Police said.
Another person in the 2012 Infiniti G37 was also ejected from the car, but that 31-year-old man survived.
Police have not determined who was driving the Infiniti, but said the men were from the Newark area.
The Infiniti was southbound on Salem Church Road, south of Arthurs Drive, when police said it “failed to remain in its lane” and went off the roadway just before 10 p.m. Tuesday.
The Infiniti continued for about 30 feet before striking a culvert and overturning several times. This is when police said the men were ejected from the car.
The car came to a rest in a driveway on the 700 block of Salem Church Road.
The older man was pronounced dead at the scene, while police said the 31-year-old man was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
