On March 26, 2025, at approximately 9:01 a.m., a Ford Fusion was traveling southbound on Canterbury Road north of Roesville Road at an apparent high rate of speed.

Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal pedestrian crash that occurred Tuesday evening in Bear.

On March 25, 2025, at approximately 5:00 p.m., a Mazda CX-9 was parked on the right shoulder of the northbound off-ramp from State Route 1 to Pulaski Highway. A disabled vehicle with a broken front left wheel was parked directly in front of the Mazda on the same shoulder. At that same time, a 74-year-old man from Bear, Delaware, was driving a GMC Sierra northbound on the off-ramp and approaching a curve to the left.

A 39-year-old man from New Castle, Delaware, was outside of the disabled vehicle, attempting to change its damaged tire. Meanwhile, a 37-year-old woman, also from New Castle, began walking toward the rear of the Mazda. As the GMC entered the curve, it drifted onto the shoulder and struck the 37-year-old woman and the left rear of the Mazda. The GMC continued forward, and its right front then struck the 39-year-old man.

The 74-year-old driver sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene by emergency medical services. The 39-year-old man was transported to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

State Police Investigating Fatal Collision on I-495

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

On March 24, 2025, at approximately 4:57 a.m., a silver 2011 Ford Fusion was stopped in the center lane of I-495 northbound, just south of the exit for US Route 13.
