Police say 23-year-old Bryant Goldsboro of Newark was trying to cross Delaware Route 4 late Thursday. They say he walked into the path of a pickup going westbound and was hit by the vehicle. Traffic in the area was affected for about two hours.
Goldsboro was hospitalized with multiple injuries. Police cited him with a pedestrian violation.
The incident follows other crashes earlier this week that killed two pedestrians. Senior Cpl. Jeff Whitmarsh reiterated that pedestrians should note dangers and make better decisions. Whitmarsh says there's no reason why the trend can't stop.
State police plan to crack down on pedestrians violating rules.
