MIDDLETOWN — A 25-year-old man from Newark was killed in a motorcycle collision that occurred Sunday morning on Bunker Hill Road in Middletown.

Identification of the victim is pending notification to the next of kin.

Delaware State Police said the collision occurred at approximately 2:40 a.m. when the Newark man was driving a 2005 Harley-Davidson motorcycle with another unidentified motorcycle westbound behind a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee on Bunker Hill Road from the intersection with Choptank Road.

The operator of the Jeep activated his left turn signal in preparation for making a left turn into a residence on Bunker Hill Road in the area of Winfield Lane. As the Jeep made the left turn, the Harley crossed the solid, double yellow line and into the opposing (eastbound) lane of travel.

The front of the Harley struck the driver side rear door of the Jeep for the point of impact. The impact forced the Harley to rotate counterclockwise in a southwesterly direction and into a driveway off Bunker Hill Road.

The operator of the Harley was ejected from the motorcycle. The other motorcycle did not come into contact with either vehicle and left the scene, police said.

The operator of the Jeep, a 46-year-old male of Middletown, was wearing a seatbelt and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He refused transportation to a hospital for further evaluation.

The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit are continuing to investigate this fatal collision.
