Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal three-vehicle crash that took place Friday morning in the Georgetown area.
At around 7:20 a.m. on June 19, 2026, a Chevrolet Silverado was heading east on Old Furnace Road, west of Rementer Road. Traveling in the opposite direction on the same road were a Toyota Sienna and a Nissan Rogue following behind it. For reasons still under investigation, the Chevrolet drifted across the center lane markings and struck the side of the Toyota. The Chevrolet then continued moving east before colliding head-on with the front of the Nissan.
The man behind the wheel of the Chevrolet, a 52-year-old resident of Lincoln, Delaware, was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity is being withheld until his next of kin can be reached.
The driver of the Toyota, a 50-year-old woman from Georgetown, was transported to a nearby hospital. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The Nissan’s driver, a 33-year-old man from Seaford, sustained serious injuries and was airlifted by the Delaware State Police Aviation Section to an area hospital for treatment.
Old Furnace Road remained closed for roughly four hours while troopers processed and cleared the crash scene.
