Student from N.J. fatally struck by motorcycle fleeing police near U. of Delaware
A college student from New Jersey was fatally struck near the University of Delaware on Tuesday night by a motorcycle that was fleeing from police, officials said.
The 18-year-old woman, a freshman at the university, was struck in a crosswalk on East Main Street near North College Avenue shortly before midnight, in Newark, Delaware, that city’s police said in a Wednesday statement.
She was pronounced dead on the scene after bystanders attempted life-saving measures, police said. Her identity was being withheld pending notification of her family.
Tuesday was the first day of classes for the fall semester, the university calendar shows.
A University of Delaware police officer attempted to stop the motorcycle for a traffic offense about three blocks away from the crash scene at 11:53 p.m. The patrol officer terminated the pursuit after the motorcycle fled at a fast speed, Newark police said.
The student was struck within the next minute, officials said.
Following the crash, the driver came off of the motorcycle and it continued onto the sidewalk, striking four more people and a light pole, authorities said.
“Incidents such as this are unimaginably tragic,” University of Delaware President Dennis Assanis and Vice President José-Luis Riera said in a joint statement on Wednesday. “We cannot express enough how sorry we are for the family, friends, and greater community as we are all so deeply shaken by the sudden loss of one of our own. Our hearts are very heavy today.”
Three of the pedestrians hit on the sidewalk were treated on the scene and one was brought to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the motorcycle was also treated for non-life threatening injuries at the hospital.
The driver of the motorcycle has not been charged nor identified as the crash remained under investigation.

The Delaware Springboard Villages to build a new community center – 47abc
GEORGETOWN, Del. – The Delaware Springboard Villages announced Friday, that they would be breaking ground on a new community center. Co-founder of the organization, Jeffrey Ronald thinks this new center will bring more unity into the neighborhood.
“Breaking ground on this community center is not just for the participants of the Springboard Village. It’s for the broader Georgetown community where they will have access to job training, life skills like financial planning, communication skills, and healthcare.”
The state-of-the-art facility will feature computer labs, a telehealth conference room, staff offices, and a commercial kitchen. These resources will help guests toward self-sufficiency.
Executive Director, of Springboard Delaware, Judson Malone thinks this can be life-changing for those in need.
“It gives them a completely new perspective, and it is incredible when people come from the woods. It’s almost transformational, their whole outlook changes, and so the community center is going to build on that.”
According to Springboard Delaware, nearly 25% of guests have gained full employment. Around one-third have transitioned to permanent housing. Ronald is excited about the future of the Springboard Villages.
Governor-elect, Matt Meyer supports the organization. Ronald believes this will only grow stronger. “Matt Meyer who spearheaded the Hope Center, has been to the Springboard Village. He has kindly declared, and we think wisely declared, that he wants to replicate this model across the entire state. Hoping to help disadvantaged Delawareans build a better life.”
The villages are located on the property of the First State Community Action Agency behind their Georgetown headquarters. It houses up to 40 individuals.
It is the expectation they come in with a plan to find full employment.
