Police are investigating the death of a local man after a car accident on Sheephill Road Sunday night.
The victim’s identity has not been released pending the notification of family, but Public Information Officer Lt. Daniel Allen told the Post this morning that he was a 20-year-old town resident who had been traveling on a bicycle when he was hit by a car. Lt. Allen would not comment on any more specifics because of the ongoing investigation.
According to police reports, a 911 call was received at 11:46 p.m. Sunday night reporting an accident involving a car and a pedestrian on Sheephill Road north Sound Beach Avenue Extension. Police, paramedics and the fire department all responded to the scene and reports state police found the man lying on the shoulder of Sheephill Road “obviously deceased.”
Police said another man, who identified himself as the driver, was found standing nearby. The driver’s name has not been released yet. The state’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner took possession of the body and an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death.
A criminal investigation is underway by the police department’s Traffic Division. The division’s Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and Sheephill Road was closed between Sound Beach Avenue Extension and Old Orchard Road from midnight until 8 a.m. this morning to allow investigators full access to the scene.
Lt. Allen said that while the investigation is a criminal one because of the fatality, the driver won’t necessarily face charges. That will be determined by the investigation.
