Camden County officials say the fatal collision occurred early Tuesday morning around Admiral Wilson Boulevard and 16th Street.
A Camden man died Tuesday after a traffic accident involving an off-duty police officer.
Investigators say Angel Saravia-Estrada, 19, was traveling on foot near Admiral Wilson Boulevard and 16th Street when an off-duty Camden County police officer struck him with their vehicle. The driver stayed at the scene for responding officers, who arrived around 12:51 a.m. An on-duty officer with the Delaware River Port Authority Police Department also stopped at the site and tried to render aid.
Saravaia-Estrada was transported to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 1:17 a.m.
Law enforcement has not released the name of the off-duty officer. The Camden County Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating the crash, did not respond to request for more information, including whether Saravia-Estrada or the driver was intoxicated.
The office's crash response unit is asking anyone with information to call Detective Samuel Funches III at 856-225-8083. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online.
