Serious Crash turns into Fatality

Released Monday, June 16, 2008

Milton – The Delaware State Police have learned that one of the persons involved in the crash has died. Investigators determined an Atlantic Concrete Cement truck, specifically a 2005 International, was traveling southbound on Gravel Hill Road (SR 30) approaching Shingle Point Road (CR 249). The truck was operated by Walter Krout, 49 of Lewes. Mr. Krout did sustain a minor injury that did not require medical treatment.

A 2003 Ford Van, owned by Johnny Janosik, was traveling eastbound on Shingle Point Road approaching Gravel Hill Road. The van failed to stop at a clearly marked stop sign and entered Gravel Hill Road. As a result the cement truck struck the Ford van. The operator of the van was killed in the crash.

Because of the crash the roadway was closed for approximately 2 ½ hours. It has since been reopened. Both operators were wearing their seatbelt and alcohol is not a factor. The identity of the person killed is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
