The Delaware State Police are investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash that occurred early this morning on I-495 in Wilmington that left one man dead.

On June 10, 2024, at approximately 2:12 a.m., a white 2020 International HV613 truck tractor was traveling in the right lane on I-495 northbound, north of Edgemoor Road. The truck, which was a United States Postal Service (USPS) truck, did not have a trailer attached. At the same time, a silver 2009 Nissan Altima was traveling on I-495 northbound approaching the rear of the USPS truck. For reasons under investigation, the right-side front of the Nissan struck the left-side rear tires of the USPS truck. As a result of the impact, the USPS truck spun towards the eastern edge of the roadway, where it struck a raised metal guardrail and overturned down an embankment. The USPS truck ultimately came to a stop in the grassy area between I-495 and the railroad tracks. After the initial impact, the Nissan struck the guardrail along the right shoulder before it came to a stop in the northbound lanes of I-495.

The driver of the USPS truck, a 59-year-old man from Yeadon, Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family and relatives are notified.

The driver of the Nissan, a 31-year-old man from Middletown, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

The roadway was closed for approximately 7 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
