Police: Man struck, killed after getting kicked out of ride-share on Dewey Beach highway

A ride-share turned tragic for a group of friends as a chaotic scene unfolded on a Delaware highway early Sunday morning.

Delaware State Police say the incident began when six friends hired a ride-share driver to pick them up around 1:44 a.m.

On their way to a home in Bethany Beach, a disagreement reportedly erupted between the group and the driver. The driver then stopped on Route 1 and demanded the group get out of the vehicle, according to police. As the group exited the vehicle, police say a car hit one of the friends trying to avoid the ride-share vehicle. The victim, a 43-year-old man, was pronounced dead on the scene.

The driver told police he failed to see the pedestrian, but immediately pulled over after striking him. However, the ride-share driver fled in his vehicle, possible a white Honda Pilot.MORE HEADLINES:
