Sandtown, Delaware (September 7, 2017) – According to Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit, a fatal hit-and-run accident involving a pedestrian occurred on Tuesday night in Kent County.
The deadly incident took place at about 9:07 p.m. September 5, westbound on the shoulder of Willow Grove Road also known as SR10 east of Sandtown Road.
A man identified by an officer as Robert L. Coberly, 35, from Felton, was walking his dog on SR10 when a car of unknown make and model heading westbound on the SR10 hit and threw him into a tax ditch on the north side of the roadway near his home.
