Farmington – The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a single vehicle fatal crash that claimed the life of a Milford man early this morning.

The preliminary investigation determined the crash occurred at approximately 1:15 a.m., Sunday, September 10, 2017 as Harry D. Ulhorn, 46 of Milford, was operating a 1987 Chevrolet El Camino. He was traveling southbound on Farmington Road approaching the intersection at Main Street within the town limits of Farmington. The El Camino drove through the stop sign without braking and traveled off the south edge of the roadway.  The vehicle traveled through a grass area before striking a large tree with the center of its front bumper.

Harry D. Ulhorn was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene. The right front passenger was wearing his seatbelt and was flown from the scene by Delaware State Police Aviation to the Christiana Hospital where he was admitted in critical condition.

The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident. Speed may have been a contributing factor although it is unknown if alcohol or drugs were factors in this crash.

Farmington Road at Main Street was shut down for approximately 2.5 hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.
