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.

Increasingly, people across the U.S. are struggling to pay their utility bills as the price of electricity soars because of supply costs and an increased demand from sources like data centers.
Gas bills are also on the rise, with Philadelphia Gas Works customers facing a $6 increase on average to their monthly bills, starting Dec. 1.
The effects are evident in states like Pennsylvania, where utility shutoffs have increased by 21% this year, leaving ratepayers in the dark.
The termination of a person’s utilities can have dire consequences, especially for kids, older ratepayers and people living with chronic health conditions.
“A shutoff in a very cold month can not only lead to health consequences for the household living in very, very cold conditions, it can also lead to structural damage to the home because the loss of utilities during those times can cause pipes to burst and all sorts of other things,” said Sarah Spangler Rhine, deputy director at Community Legal Aid Society in Delaware.
As temperatures drop in the Philadelphia region, however, some ratepayers will be protected from shutoffs.
Here’s what you need to know about winter shutoff moratorium programs in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. During this period, ratepayers will be able to keep their heat and lights on even when they’re behind on their bills.
