A man was killed when he was struck by a car on Sunday, prompting an early morning investigation that shut down a major roadway for hours in Delaware County.

Route 202 southbound was shut down after the crash in Concord Township around 3:30 a.m. Police said one person lost their life.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, a vehicle had pulled onto the southbound shoulder and a man got of the passenger side and entered a lane of traffic. He was then struck by an oncoming 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Police said the man, identified as 27-year-old Ankur Bansal, died from the impact of the crash.

A 56-year-old driver was behind the wheel of the Cruiser, police said. His vehicle had damage, but police didn't say whether he suffered any injuries.

NBC10 was on scene as an SUV was stopped with their hazard lights on just ahead of where the victim’s body was found on the roadway. Investigators spoke with someone in the vehicle, and by 7:30 a.m., the SUV left the scene.

The road reopened around the same time.
