At least one person was killed during a vehicle crash involving an unreturned U-Haul rental van that struck multiple pedestrians and a police vehicle near the University of Delaware’s campus Tuesday afternoon, police said. 

The Newark, Delaware, Police Department said officers noticed a rented U-Haul van that had not been returned parked on the street at around 4:30 p.m. The vehicle was reported as “an unauthorized use vehicle” Monday.

The van had originally been rented but was not returned when it was due March 18, police said. 

As the officers tried to arrest the two suspects inside the truck, they fled in the vehicle, traveling over a curb and striking a marked police vehicle, police said.

“The suspects disregarded officer commands and exited the parking lot at a high rate of speed,” a police news release states. “Newark officers did not engage in a vehicle pursuit and remained in the shopping center.”

While fleeing, the van struck two pedestrians standing by a parked vehicle before hitting multiple parked vehicles and becoming disabled, police said. 

Responding officers rendered first aid to the injured pedestrians. One was pronounced dead. The other sustained serious injuries. Three others were taken to an emergency room with injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening.

Three others were treated for minor injuries and declined further medical treatment.
