Delaware State Police have identified 45-year-old Cindy Fisher of Sudlersville, Maryland, as the woman who died yesterday from injuries sustained in a fatal crash that occurred Friday night in Hartly.
On September 22, 2023, at approximately 11:38 p.m., a silver 2018 Chevrolet Malibu was traveling eastbound on Arthursville Road east of Gunter Road in Hartly. For unknown reasons, the Malibu traveled off the roadway, and in doing so, struck a sign. The Malibu continued traveling in an easterly direction and struck an embankment, which caused it to overturn. The Malibu came to rest right side up south of the roadway, and a short time later, became engulfed in flames. The two occupants of the Malibu had exited the vehicle before it caught on fire.
The operator of the Malibu, identified as Fisher, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where she was admitted for critical injuries. On September 23, 2023, she died from injuries sustained in the crash. The passenger of the Malibu, a 33-year-old man from Hartly, Delaware, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Lane by calling (302) 698-8457. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
