A van crashed into an apartment building and caught fire. PHOTO COURTESY OF CAROLINE WAUGHA U.S. Secret Service vehicle was hit during a fiery three-vehicle crash July 30 that damaged a Lewes apartment building off Route 9.
The crash happened at 2:12 p.m. at the intersection of Route 9 and Old Vine Boulevard when a Ford Transit van was heading westbound on Route 9 approaching Old Vine Boulevard, and failed to slow down at a red light, police said.
The van, driven by a Milton man, 41, crashed into the rear passenger side of a Chevrolet Silverado, police said, which caused the Silverado to enter the eastbound lane of Route 9 where its driver’s side hit the driver’s side of a Dodge Durango. The Dodge Durango was a Secret Service vehicle, police said.
After striking the truck, police said, the van drove off the road, coming to a stop and catching fire next to an apartment building in The Vineyards complex. The fire damaged the building, police said, but no one inside was injured.
The driver of the Silverado, a 68-year-old Georgetown man, and the Durango driver, a 42-year-old Pennsylvania man, as well as the Milton van driver, were all taken to an area hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.
Police said the Milton man was cited with inattentive driving.
The state fire marshal is investigating damage to the building and property.
