Delaware State Police are investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash that occurred last night in Harrington.

On October 31, 2025, at approximately 9:00 p.m., a Ford Fusion was traveling northbound on South Dupont Highway and entered a center crossover, preparing to turn left onto Tower Hill Road. At the same time, an Infiniti G37 was traveling southbound in the right lane on South Dupont Highway, approaching Tower Hill Road. For reasons still under investigation, the Ford crossed in front of the Infiniti and as a result, the front of the Infiniti struck the right side of the Ford. The impact caused the Ford to exit the west edge of the roadway and strike a utility pole.

The driver of the Ford, a 64-year-old man from Milford, Delaware, was transported to an area hospital and pronounced dead. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.

The driver of the Infiniti, a 19-year-old man from Milford, Delaware, was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The roadway was closed for approximately 4.5 hours while members of the Delaware State Police Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated and cleared the scene.

The investigation is ongoing. Troopers ask anyone who witnessed the crash or has relevant information to contact Sergeant J. Wilson at (302) 698-8518. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
