A 72-year-old man from Newark died Monday night after being hit by a car, Delaware State Police said.

Troopers were called to Route 4 (East Chestnut Hill Road) and Salem Church Road in Ogletown just after 8:45 p.m. for reports of the wreck. There, police found the man dead.

A 61-year-old woman was driving her Toyota Tundra on Route 4 when the man tried to cross the road from the center median, according to state police. He wasn't wearing reflective clothing or carrying a flashlight, police said.

The woman swerved to try to avoid him but wasn't able to avoid hitting the man, police said. She was uninjured.

Police will identify the man once family has been notified. The road was closed for about three hours as troopers investigated.
