Delaware State Police are looking into a deadly crash that claimed the life of a Millsboro man Sunday evening in Georgetown.
William Chilel-Ramirez, 23, was driving his Chevrolet Silverado east on Zoar Road near Governor Stockley Road around 5:10 p.m. on March 22, 2026, when the pickup truck veered off the roadway as he approached a gentle bend. The vehicle left the road and crashed into a farm field, colliding with irrigation equipment and a utility pole before flipping over.
Chilel-Ramirez was rushed to a nearby hospital but died from his injuries.
The crash forced authorities to shut down the roadway for several hours while investigators examined the scene and crews worked to clear the wreckage.
