Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred Monday afternoon in Georgetown.
On September 15, 2025, at approximately 12:30 p.m., a Nissan Altima was traveling southbound on Dupont Boulevard (US 113), approaching the intersection at Redden Road. At the same time, a Mack Anthem truck pulling an empty grain trailer was stopped northbound on Dupont Boulevard at the intersection, intending to turn left onto Redden Road. A posted yield sign controls this crossover.
The Mack truck failed to yield the right of way and turned left through the crossover into the southbound lanes. As it did, the Nissan struck the right side of the trailer.
The driver of the Nissan, a 49-year-old woman from the Bronx, New York, was wearing a seatbelt. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her identity is being withheld until her family is notified.
The driver of the Mack Anthem truck, a 76-year-old man from Cambridge, Maryland, was also wearing a seatbelt and not injured.
The roadway was closed for approximately three and a half hours while members of the Delaware State Police Troop 7 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated and cleared the roadway.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has relevant information is asked to contact Master Corporal K. Argo at (302) 703-3264.
