State Police Investigating Fatal Three-Vehicle Crash in Felton

Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal three-vehicle crash that occurred this morning in Felton that left one man dead.

On March 26, 2025, at approximately 9:01 a.m., a Ford Fusion was traveling southbound on Canterbury Road north of Roesville Road at an apparent high rate of speed. At the same time, a Toyota Camry was traveling northbound on Canterbury Road approaching the intersection at Roesville Road. A third vehicle, a Mazda CX-5, was also traveling northbound behind the Camry. The preliminary investigation revealed that the Camry attempted to turn westbound onto Roesville Road and as a result, the front of the Fusion struck the right rear of the Camry. After the collision with the Camry, the Fusion left the east side of Canterbury Road, re-entered the roadway, and the front of the Fusion struck the front of the Mazda. The Mazda then entered a drainage ditch causing it to rollover on its side.

The driver of the Fusion, a 33-year-old man from Dover, Delaware, was unrestrained and pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.

The driver of the Mazda, a 28-year-old man from Felton, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries.

The driver of the Camry, a 70-year-old woman from Felton, Delaware, was not injured.

The roadway was closed for approximately 4.5 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
