Police investigating fatal crash in Harbeson area

Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal accident in the Harbeson area that left a 48-year-old Millsboro man dead.

In the morning hours of May 16, police say a Nissan Sentra was travelling southbound on Hollymount Road near Route 24. At that time, two commercial flatbed trailers were parked partially in the northbound shoulder and partially in the grass with orange reflective cones positioned alongside the trailers. 

Police say for unknown reasons the Sentra left the southbound lane and veered into the northbound shoulder where it hit one of the trailers. The impact of the collision pushed the two trailers into each other. 

The driver of the Sentra, whose name is being withheld until family is notified, died at the scene. Hollymount Road was closed for 3.5 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared. 

The Delaware State Police Troop 7 Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating the incident. Any witnesses to the crash should contact Sr. Cpl. Smith at 703-3267, by sending a private message via Facebook Messenger at Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
