Two Subjects Trapped after Crash on Leipsic Road

Released- Saturday, March 22, 2008

Dover- Troop 3 patrol officers responded to Leipsic Road south of Lewes Street on Friday, March 21, 2008, at approximately 3:00 p.m., in reference to a two vehicle injury crash. 

A 2002 Chevrolet Malibu, operated by Steven Cain, 19, of Dover, was traveling eastbound on Leipsic Road approaching the rear of a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro- which was slowing to turn right into a private driveway. 

The Malibu began passed the Camaro on the left and lost control at which point it traveled off of the east edge of the roadway and struck a utility pole.  The Camaro, which was operated by David Sadler, 43, of Dover, then struck the Malibu.

Sadler was not injured.  Cain, and his female passenger, were both trapped and had to be extricated by mechanical means.  Trooper 4 and Trooper 2 both transported the occupants of the Malibu to Christiana Hospital where they were treated for serious, but non-life threatening, injuries. 

Steven Cain was cited for Careless Driving and Failure to have Insurance Identification.
