State Police Investigating Single-Vehicle Fatal Crash in Felton

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

On September 20, 2024, at approximately 8:17 p.m., a 56-year-old man from Felton was driving a GMC Sierra eastbound on Sandtown Road when the vehicle exited a left curve. For unknown reasons, the truck veered off the south side of the roadway near the 4000 block of Sandtown Road. The vehicle continued eastward, partially on the grass and roadway, before the driver swerved left. This caused the truck to rotate counterclockwise and re-enter the road, skidding sideways in a northeastern direction.

The vehicle eventually left the road again, overturning along a ditch and coming to rest upright in a cornfield on the north side of Sandtown Road. The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity is being withheld until his family is notified.

Sandtown Road was closed for approximately three hours while the Delaware State Police Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated the scene and cleared the roadway.
