Milford, Del. — A tragic collision on May 2 claimed the life of a 34-year-old Greenwood man after his motorcycle slammed into a car in Milford. The incident unfolded around 6 p.m. on North Church Street, where a 62-year-old man driving a white Chevrolet Malibu began a left turn into a residence in the 600 block. As the car turned, a black Suzuki GSX1300, operated by Robert D. Pierce, attempted to illegally pass on the left at high speed, striking the vehicle. Emergency crews rushed to the scene, performing life-saving measures on Pierce, who was transported to a nearby hospital.
Despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead. The Malibu’s driver was unharmed, but his 43-year-old female passenger sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from a hospital. The crash shut down North Church Street between North Street Extended and Bright Way for roughly 3.5 hours as authorities investigated. The ongoing investigation seeks witnesses to clarify the circumstances of the collision. Police urge anyone with information to contact authorities or submit anonymous tips through Delaware Crime Stoppers or the Milford Police Department’s online portal.
