Milford Man in Critical Condition Following Crash Released Sunday, June 08, 2008 Milford- The Delaware State Police are investigating a single vehicle crash that occurred early this morning and has left a Milford man in critical condition. On Sunday, June 08, 2008 at 4:57am, State Police were called to the scene of a one vehicle crash on Sapp Road just north of Bucks Road near Milford. Investigators report that a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck was traveling northbound on Sapp Road when the driver lost control, exited the west edge of the road and entered a grass field. As the Chevrolet traveled across the field, it began to spin in a counter clockwise fashion before flipping over two times. As the vehicle was flipping over, the driver was ejected. Ultimately the Chevrolet struck a tree after the driver was ejected. The driver, identified as Ryan Smith, 21, of Milford, was flown to Christiana Hospital by the State Police helicopter. Smith remains at Christiana Hospital in critical condition being treated for a broken right shoulder, a lacerated spleen, and facial lacerations. Smith was not wearing his seatbelt and alcohol involvement is a factor in this crash. The investigation is ongoing. |
