Police: Teen dies after being struck in Hebron

Police say that one person has died following a crash in Hebron on Monday evening.

According to Maryland State Police, at 9:32 PM, troopers were sent to a single vehicle crash involving a pedestrian and a 2004 GMC Yukon at westbound US Route 50 at Martin Luther Drive in Hebron.

When troopers arrived on scene, they made contact with the vehicle's driver, 42-year-old Melanie Peterson of Wilmington, to check for injuries as EMS was caring for a teen pedestrian.

Investigators say that the 15-year-old boy ran into the roadway, stumbled and fell before being struck. Alcohol on either party was not determined to be a factor.

The investigation is continuing at this time. The teen was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he died from his injuries. Troopers are asking any witnesses to call the Salisbury Barrack at 410-749-3101 or email at msp.salisbury@maryland.gov.
