Delaware State Police have arrested 29-year-old Judson Wall of Millsboro, Delaware, for DUI, Drug, and crash related offenses following a crash that injured three children last night in Long Neck.
On September 27, 2024, at approximately 7:25 p.m., a Chevrolet Silverado was travelling southbound on Indian Mission Road, stopped for traffic at the red light at John J. Williams Highway. A Kia K5 was stopped behind the Silverado, a Ford F-150 was stopped behind the Kia, and a BMW X7 was stopped behind the F-150. At the same time, a Mercedes GLE, driven by Judson Wall, was travelling southbound on Indian Mission Road, approaching the stopped vehicles. The investigation revealed that the Mercedes was traveling at an unsafe speed and failed to stay in the proper lane of travel. As a result, the Mercedes sideswiped the X7 and the F-150. The front of the Mercedes then stuck the rear of the Kia causing it to hit the Silverado.
The driver of the Kia, a 39-year-old man from Lewes, was not injured. A passenger, a 6-year-old child, was taken to an area hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries. Two other children, ages 9 and 12, were taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
During contact with Wall, troopers observed multiple signs of impairment and administered Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Following the tests, Wall was taken into custody without incident. During a search of Wall and his property, troopers discovered approximately 49.96 grams of marijuana. Wall was not injured in the crash.
The occupants of the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-150, and BMW X7 were not injured.
