Location of Incident: Southbound SR 1 3 miles north of Dover, Kent County
Date and Time of Occurrence: Tuesday June 9, 2009 on or about 21:22 hours
Victim: Willis L. Marcellus, 20, 1221 Salem Road, Plainfield, NJ
Resume:
Troopers are investigating a fatality of a driver who left his car and was struck by several cars after he ran into the roadway.
The incident happened last evening when Marcellus had become involved in a minor crash while driving north on SR 1. A passer-by saw Marcellus in the median and pulled over to help. The Good Samaritan felt that Marcellus was suffering from some type of medical condition and offered to help. Marcellus ran from his vehicle into the southbound lanes where he was struck by several motor vehicles traveling northbound. Marcellus was pronounced dead at the scene.
Troopers are still investigating and they are unsure why Marcellus ran from the Good Samaritan.
Both directions of SR 1 were closed for approximately 3 ½ hours while investigators gathered evidence.
