Delaware State Police are investigating two fatal car wrecks that occurred in a five-hour span.
The first wreck occurred just after 9 p.m. on Saturday, according to police. A man was trying to cross the southbound lanes of Interstate-95 just north of Delaware Avenue in Wilmington when he was struck by a Chevrolet Equinox. Police say the man was then struck by three more vehicles before he was pronounced dead on the scene.
Roughly five hours later, just before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, police responded to a second fatal crash on Route 41 in Hockessin. A Mercury Mountaineer struck a Honda Civic and careened into a concrete island, where the car turned over, police say. The driver of the Mountaineer was pronounced dead on the scene.
