The Delaware State Police arrested 22-year-old Tahrie Calloway of Claymont, Delaware, for vehicular homicide and traffic-related charges following a fatal hit-and-run collision yesterday morning in Milton.
On July 26, 2025, at approximately 7:39 a.m., a 2017 Honda Accord was traveling northbound on Sand Hill Road, approaching Burton Road in Milton. At the same time, a bicyclist was traveling along the eastern edge of the roadway on Sand Hill Road northbound, just ahead of the Honda. The preliminary investigation revealed the front right of the Honda struck the bicyclist as the Honda passed, which caused the bicyclist to be thrown into the grass. After the impact, the Honda did not stop, and fled from the scene of the collision.
The bicyclist, a 67-year-old man from Milford, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name is being withheld until his family and relatives are notified.
The driver of the Honda, later identified as Tahrie Calloway, was found with the disabled Honda approximately 1 mile north of the collision scene by EMS personnel. Through investigative means, troopers discovered the damage to the Honda was consistent with the hit-and-run collision, and Calloway was taken into custody without incident. During the investigation, troopers observed multiple signs of impairment from Calloway, including the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath. In the ensuing DUI investigation, impairment was suspected to be a factor at the time of the crash.
Calloway was taken to Troop 4, where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $18,101 cash bond.
- Vehicular Homicide 2nd Degree (Felony)
