Laurel- Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal motor vehicle collision that occurred this afternoon on Sycamore Road at the intersection to Beaver Dam Branch Road.
On Friday, November 26, 2021, at approximately 2:35 p.m., a 2017 Subaru WRX operated by a 17-year-old male of Frankford, DE, was traveling westbound on Sycamore Road at a high rate of speed. At this time, a 2000 Ford F-150 pickup truck operated by an 18-year-old male of Salisbury, MD, was traveling westbound on Sycamore Road in front of the Subaru. The Ford slowed down at the intersection to make a left turn onto Beaver Dam Branch Road. As the Ford initiated the left turn, the Subaru was unable to stop. In attempt to avoid striking the Ford, the Subaru began to pass it on the left. The Subaru was unable to avoid the collision and it’s front right struck the front left of the Ford. The collision pushed the Ford in a northwest direction, where it came to rest in the westbound lane of Sycamore Road. The impact caused the Subaru to exit the roadway while rotating in a counterclockwise direction. The Subaru continued traveling out of control in a westerly direction until it struck a guide wire. This collision caused the Subaru to go airborne and subsequently its passenger side struck a utility pole.
The collision with the utility pole caused the 17-year-old front seat passenger of the Subaru to be ejected. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. Identification of the victim is pending notification to the next of kin.
The 17-year-old operator of the Subaru was transposed to an area hospital and treated for minor injuries.
The 18-year-old operator of the Ford was not injured.
Sycamore Road at Beaver Dam Branch Road remains closed while a utility pole is replaced.
The investigation remains on-going. Anyone with information regarding this collision should contact Senior Corporal Albert with the Delaware State Police Troop 7 Collision Reconstruction Unit by calling 302-703-3266.

The interaction of two doomed stars has created this spectacular ring adorned with bright clumps of gas — a diamond necklace of cosmic proportions. Fittingly known as the Necklace Nebula, this planetary nebula is located 15 000 light-years away from Earth in the small, dim constellation of Sagitta (The Arrow). The Necklace Nebula — which also goes by the less glamorous name of PN G054.2-03.4 — was produced by a pair of tightly orbiting Sun-like stars. Roughly 10 000 years ago, one of the aging stars expanded and engulfed its smaller companion, creating something astronomers call a “common envelope”. The smaller star continued to orbit inside its larger companion, increasing the bloated giant’s rotation rate until large parts of it spun outwards into space. This escaping ring of debris formed the Necklace Nebula, with particularly dense clumps of gas forming the bright “diamonds” around the ring. The pair of stars which created the Necklace Nebula remain so close together — separated by only a few million kilometres — that they appear as a single bright dot in the centre of this image. Despite their close encounter the stars are still furiously whirling around each other, completing an orbit in just over a day. The Necklace Nebula was featured in a previously released Hubble image, but now this new image has been created by applying advanced processing techniques, making for a new and improved view of this intriguing object. The composite image includes several exposures from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3.

Governor Ron DeSantis out of Florida has asserted that lockdowns do not work. The Governor pointing to statistics in Florida, saying that even though they have the countries most vulnerable population, Florida has the lowest death per capita for Coronavirus.
DeSantis asserts that shutting down schools and businesses only hurt the community and the children saying that he has not mandated masks or lockdowns and his state is thriving because of his decision.
“We have schools open, we have businesses open. They single out the restaurant industry, our restaurants are open they are up and running. People are coming in, and yet no lockdowns no mandates.” DeSantis Said
“Florida despite having the most vulnerable population to Covid in the United States, we are less than the national average in per capita mortality when it comes to Coronavirus. 25 other states almost all lockdown states, have higher per capita mortality than Florida. The lockdowns don’t work. L.A county in the last 6 weeks has higher cases on a daily basis and hospitalizations than the entire state of Florida does and we are 22 million people. So you have one county that has the most draconian restrictions and yet the county does worse than a state that is completely open. I don’t know that the experts will ever admit the lockdowns don’t work, I know the media won’t ever admit it, but the fact is that we are at the point now that you cannot say this is a good policy [lockdowns] unless you toss out all the data. We are open, we are free and we are better off because of it.”
