Delaware State Police are currently investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred in the Millsboro area Wednesday afternoon.
On September 14, 2022, at approximately 4:48 p.m., a red 2010 Ford F-150 pickup truck was stopped at a stop sign on westbound Beaver Dam Road at the intersection with Indian Mission Road. At the same time, a black Ford F-350 truck was traveling northbound on Indian Mission Road approaching the intersection with Beaver Dam Road. For unknown reasons, the operator of the red F-150 continued into the intersection and into the path of travel of the Ford F-350. As a result, the right front of the F-350 struck the left front of the F-150. The F-150 spun clockwise and came to rest on Indian Mission Road, while the F-350 traveled off the road and came to rest in a heavily wooded area.
The operator of the red F-150, an 85-year-old male from Millsboro, Delaware, was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The identification of the victim is pending notification of the next of kin. The passenger of the red F-150, an 83-year-old female from Millsboro, Delaware, was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the black F-350, a 35-year-old male from Lincoln, Delaware, suffered minor injuries but refused medical treatment at the scene.
No other vehicles were involved in this incident. The road was closed for about three hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.
